Media Accreditation

Approximately 250 mission leaders from across the globe will participate in the Centenary Conference, which takes place from 2-5 June at Pollock Halls, Edinburgh. Delegates come from the Evangelical, Orthodox, Pentecostal, Protestant and Roman Catholic churches. Due to limited space we can only provide press passes for a small number of journalists. We apologise if we cannot meet all requests. 

On Sunday 6 June, the 250 delegates will be joined by 800 local and international visitors for a 3 hour celebratory worship at the historic conference venue, the Assembly Hall, The Mound, Edinburgh. The Archbishop of York, Dr. John Sentamu, is to be the guest preacher, and will be joined by representatives of the Evangelical, Pentecostal, Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. A large number of press passes will be available for this event. 

Please note that journalists are expected to pay for their own travel, accommodation and any other expenses.

An application for accreditation can be downloaded as PDF or word document. Please complete and send this form to the Edinburgh 2010 team no later than 28 February, at the address given in the form. A letter from us confirming your accreditation will include further details.
