Hundreds of Christians met together on Wednesday evening in London's Parliament Square to pray for the EU referendum on June 23, that will decide if UK can stay in EU or not.
The event welcomed Christians from all denominations, according to Christian Today.
"It is a visible statement to the watching world that the church is alive and engaged," said Rev Patrick Allerton, associate vicar of St Dionis in Fulham. "It is about being a city on a hill and a lamp on its stand."
He said that the aim of the gathering was to pray for the "healing of our land and healing in political terms."
The Church of England had also launched a campaign in April to pray for EU referendum via social media, to urge Christians keep praying about the topic, for the common good of all.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said he will vote to stay in the EU, because Britain's Christian heritage was found upon "peace and reconciliation, building bridges not barriers."
"At the heart of Britain's Christian heritage are certain glorious principles. They are what make the best of our nation. They come from Jesus's teaching, especially in the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes," he wrote in the Daily Mail.
"Peace and reconciliation exist in Western Europe today. It is the greatest cause for thankfulness that we can imagine. It is a blessing to be shared with the whole world," he continued. "I pray that we will then reunite with immense determination to be a gift to the world of today and to future generations."
Speaking at a conference "In or out: How should Christians approach the EU Referendum?" at Redcliffe Colloge in Gloucester, church planter and lecturer Jim Memory said that Christians must take the view of the gospel before making the decision.
"Today that Christian identity has been forgotten, suppressed or abandoned as Europeans have placed their hopes for the future in economic prosperity rather than the gospel of Jesus Christ," he said. "However you choose to vote in the referendum the loss of Europe's soul should spur UK Christians to prayer and action not disengagement; to commit ourselves once again to mission in Europe."
