A London vicar is taking on The X Factor in the race to be the number 1 single for Christmas.
Revd Niall Weir of St Paul's in West Hackney and his choir of 60 people hope to take the coveted spot. His group includes the homeless, vulnerable adults and pensioners - proceeds from the song will go to charity.
Revd Weir told Premier's Des Busteed News Hour why he formed the choir.
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
