Rev Pat Allerton: The ’portable priest’ who took prayer to the streets in lockdown

The Profile

The vicar of St Peter's Notting Hill, London first rose to public attention during lockdown, when he began cycling around his parish leading simple street corner services consisting of just a hymn and a prayer. Rev Pat Allerton now has thousands of followers on social media and has been featured in the national papers, who have focussed on his Eton education and good looks as much as his message. Now, two years on, Pat has written a book A Pocketful of Hope: A simple A-Z of faith for those who haven't yet found it. He spoke to Premier's Esther Higham to talk more about his life, faith and ministry. The Profile is brought to you by Premier Christianity magazine.
