ENGLAND: PRINCE OF WALES BACKS MILLENNIUM VILLAGE

(CT) The Prince of Wales is supporting a 120,000 million Christian
centre
for London.

An ecumenical "Millennium Village" is planned for a nine-acre site next
to
Battersea Power Station in London, and is the idea of Holy Trinity
Church,
Brompton. The aim of the village is to provide a focus for the
millennium
celebrations and to establish a Christian community in London to serve
local, national and international needs.

The proposal includes a plan for a multipurpose auditorium for 10,000
people which could be used as a Church. It will also provide national
training and a resource centre, a base for charities and accommodation
for
2,000 students visiting London.

The Prince of Wales has agreed that his Project Office, part of his
Institute of Architecture, should advise on the project.
