    Please pray for: James Watt Bicentenary

    The Scottish inventor James Watt died on 19th August 1819 at his Handsworth home in Birmingham, at the age of 84. This year is also the 250th anniversary of his patenting of his condensing chamber improvement to the Newcomen steam engine. In subsequent years he improved the efficiency of the engine further, enabling it to become the power source that drove the industrial revolution. Such was the success of the engine that Watt became a very wealthy man. He retired in 1800 and devoted the rest of his life to research. The unit of measurement of electrical and mechanical power ? the watt ? is named in his honour.
    Watt’s undoubted genius was a key driver of the industrial revolution ? something he achieved as a young man. But that success was built on his readiness to co-operate with others; his partner, Matthew Boulton, oversaw the manufacture and marketing of the engine; and Dr Erasmus Darwin offered him support through the bouts of depression he regularly suffered.
    Pray for the legacy of Watt, for inventors and technologists in all areas of life.

    Bishop Bennett Okoro, Orlu (Nigeria); Bishop Sixbert Macumi, Buye (Burundi) Bishop Danald Jute, Kuching (South East Asia)
