Americas Cup Ecumenical Service Unites Anglicans in Spain

Anglicans from the Costa Blanca and Costa Azahar in Spain have been involved in an Act of Worship in five languages to mark the start of the America's Cup yacht races from Valencia.

The service in Spanish, English, Italian, French and German also included music 'a capella' by the Valencian choir 'Studium Vocale' and included Bible readings from Job, Philippians and the Gospel of John focusing on facing challenges in unity.

The Roman Catholic auxiliary Bishop of Valencia, Monsignor Esteban Escudero, presided and spoke of the different competitors in the US race and the importance of their teamwork and high standards.
