A day for whose prayer?
Renee from the Village Gate remarks on how The National Day of Prayer is only open to the followers of Christ
“NDP Event Coordinators are subjected to a Christians-only religious test. The NDP Task Force website solicits volunteers to sponsor local events, but the application makes it clear that only certain Americans are welcome. Applicants must describe ?My Personal Testimony (How did you come to know Jesus as your Savior?).”
I would say that I’m surprised, but in our current climate where everything is becoming more polarised and hostile there is little room for nice ecumenical gestures from the government. Bush and his cronies have been openly dismissive and hostile to the modern pagan movement for years, as I said in an earlier entry, the most we hope for is a politician who isn’t openly hostile.
While I’m at it I would like to thank Renee for giving a nod to Beltane, happy Beltane is just fine thanks!
