Canon Andrew White, known as 'the Vicar of Baghdad', will be the special guest at the Surrey Christmas Celebration in Leatherhead on 3 December.
“It’s a great honour to have him,” said Gerald Coates, the event organiser. “He’s one of the bravest, funniest and most challenging people I know.”
Hundreds of guests are expected at the venue, Leatherhead Theatre, including a large number who only traditionally visit church at Christmas.
”We have positioned the event at the beginning of December because Andrew White will be returning to Baghdad soon after. Secondly, because we wanted it to precede other local carol services which most churches put on around the Christmas season,” said Gerald Coates.
The evening will be hosted by young people from the area and will feature readings and drama.
The 3 December event starts at 7.30pm. Admission is free (no tickets). Leatherhead Theatre’s All Stars Café will be open for refreshments at 6.30pm.
