Echoes of Glory play showcases the impact of the Church on communities

In a deeply resonant and community-rooted production, “Echoes of Glory” brings to life the founding journey of Pastor Peter, a figure emblematic of resilience, leadership, and spiritual conviction. Staged at CCI West London, the play is more than a theatrical performance. It is a living, breathing reflection of diasporic faith, migration, and the unifying power of community.

The production carries the unmistakable weight of lived experience. This is a community-led tribute to the struggle and triumph of building a Pentecostal church in the heart of West London.

Portrayed by rising Nigerian talent Oreofe Olubajo, Pastor Peter is brought to life with both the authority of a leader and the compassion of one called to serve. He emerges as an authentic, deeply human figure, a young, brave Nigerian man creating space and purpose for a marginalised community.

What stands out most is the play’s sociological resonance. It presents the church not merely as a religious institution, but as a social anchor, a place where migrant communities discover belonging, purpose, and a shared identity.

Ultimately, “Echoes of Glory” is a tribute not just to one man’s vision, but to the collective effort behind community-building in unfamiliar territory. It reminds audiences that churches, especially in diasporic contexts, are more than places of worship. They are pillars of identity, solidarity, and transformation. Church as worship. Church as mental health support. Church as school. Church as family.
