An ‘eternal wall of answered prayer’?

An architect’s image of the prayer wall

An ‘Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer’ is planned for a site near Birmingham.

The wall will tell 1million stories of hope. The monument will be a Möbius strip, one of the only infinite – i.e. ‘eternal’ – shapes, looping back on itself endlessly, which will tower 50 metres into the skyline – 2.5 times the height of the Angel of the North, and 500,000 journeys will travel past it weekly.

Richard Gamble, who began the project 16 years ago, is supported by many Christian organisations, and hopes the site will be somewhere where people will be able to reflect upon God’s work as they hold up their phones to each brick and read an answered prayer.
