'Healing' hands, Best Lane, Canterbury
Among the shoppers on this sunny day in central Canterbury, the Healing On The Streets volunteers practise their 'hands-on' healing. Organised by Canterbury Churches In Partnership, they say that 'although we believe that God can heal you, not everyone is healed in response to our prayers. If nothing seems to have happened, please be reassured that God still loves you...'

Canterbury is a small historic city on the River Stour in Kent, some 54 miles southeast of London. Occupied since prehistoric times, it became an important Roman city. In 672, the see of Canterbury gained authority over the entire English Church. After the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket at the cathedral in 1170, pilgrims from all parts of Christendom came to visit his shrine until the Dissolution. Today, Canterbury is a popular tourist destination and one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom. The city has a substantial student population, with four university campuses.
