We scheduled our first service, planned it for months, got 9 clergy that year from 12 different religions to show up. Adverstised it to the local area and set it up... That was eight years ago, the Day of Prayer was to be September 12th so we scheduled our kickoff the evening before on September 11th, 2001.

That morning the planes hit the towers, the pentagon and the Pennsylvania field. That evening every clergy from every religion that showed up spoke of peace, forgiveness and sang/spoke their prayers to the survivors, the lost and all who would become entangled in what occurred. Twas a heck of a service.

The next day we had plenty of folks looking for a quiet sanctuary to sit and contemplate, meditate and pray....we were glad to be there for those in need.

What an auspicious day to start....I'll remember that everytime I attend this event.
 
Are you saying Obama Bin Laden or whatever his name was actually helped to make it more successful? :eek::cool:
 
Yes in the way a chair makes sitting successful.

After that happenned folks were in need, and we had the 'luck' of timing to have a space for them.

I appreciate that Wil, and it was a glib post. I hope you all have a wonderful gathering this year too, and don't forget them cocktails.
 
It sounds like you have a hand in helping to organize this.
Hope it turns out well for all involved.
I have a short bit which if it could be included somehow would be nice.
Let me know either way if you can wil.

_______________________________________________________-
Here is a simple truth.....desire IS prayer.
Long set forms of words, repeated in a hurry or out of conformity to a sense of duty as laid out by some sect, as outlined in their creed,
is not prayer,
and will bring no response.
But in your living soul there is the beat of earnest desire and this is what sets into motion all those qualities desired and builds up each individual according to their character and disposition.
Prayer is a natural function of people (indeed, all nature), and you really do get according to what you think you deserve.
Even if that affronts you for putting you in the position of responsibility.
So learn to control yourself so that your desires are set on things which are good and beneficial.

Many blessings to you all.
From a friend

The evening started, a wonderful kickoff to our world day of prayer. Today i hold you all in the light, my prayer is the for best for all concerned.

We had representatives from the following religions, Hindu, Buddhist, Native American, Sufi, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Thomas, Faithful, G2G, you all will like to know that this year our preacher asked it be his last year to speak. He thought it would be more appropriate to represent all of Christianity by someone other than a new thought Preacher....for something of a more conventional preacher...interesting stuff.

Great talks, great prayers and wonderful fellowship afterword. And then an hour of Sufi dances, the Hindus and Buddhist Monk participated, twas fun, meditative, contemplative...great...
