Conference Co-ordinator, the Revd Jonathan Lloyd (Anglican Chaplain at The University of Bath, England) told ACNS "Ministry amongst students is vital in the life of our Church, and we greatly look forward to meeting in Canterbury at Pentecost to pray and share together as University Chaplains from all corners of Europe and beyond."
