The Lichfield Diocese is launching a major new campaign to woo lapsed church-goers back into the fold.

The Bishop of Lichfield, the Right Reverend Jonathan Gledhill says "Back to Church Sunday" on September 30 will be the biggest evangelism initiative undertaken by the diocese since the Billy Graham rallies at Villa Park in 1984.

More than 35,000 prayer and invitation cards have been sent out within the diocese where more than 350 churches will be joining with 1,500 others across the Church of England to invite people back to the congregation.

Video journalist Victoria Hoe went to meet Bishop Jonathan and to hear about his hopes for the big day at the end of September.
