Jan’s seminars, The School of the Spirit, and The Father’s House, have been completely restructured with three separate modules for each course. The modules will be repeated later in the year, making it possible to attend some now, take others later, and still get the same content.

Father’s House: June 2, 3 & 4 (Tues/Wed/Thurs) at 7:00 PM

In 1747, Jonathan Edwards joined the movement started in Scotland called the “concert in prayer,” and in the same year published An Humble Attempt to Promote Explicit Agreement and Visible Union of God’s People in Extraordinary Prayer for the Revival of Religion and the Advancement of Christ’s Kingdom on Earth.

His key passage was Zech. 8:20-22: “This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come, and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, ‘Let us go at once to entreat the LORD and seek the LORD Almighty. I myself am going.’ And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the LORD Almighty and to entreat him.”

Four times a year, believers from all over New England unite in prayer at local Fifth Friday gatherings. In Fifth Fridays, we are renewing an ancient covenant and an important connection to the First Great Awakening.

Praying for the Christians of the Middle East

Even the New York Times now recognizes that Christians are an endangered species in the Middle East.

A century ago there were millions of Christians in what is today Turkey; now there are 150,000. There is a house in Turkey where the Virgin Mary is believed to have spent her last days, yet the country’s National Assembly and military have no Christian members or officers except temporary recruits doing mandatory service. Violence against Christians has risen.

Among Palestinians, Islam is also playing an unprecedented role in defining identity, especially in Gaza, ruled by Hamas. Benedict’s arrival in Jerusalem on Monday prompted a radical member of the legislature in Gaza to call on Arab governments not to greet him because of his contentious remark in 2006 regarding the Prophet Muhammad.

Read the rest here, and pray for the ancient Christian communities of that troubled region.

Should we be concerned about this?

For the last eight years during the Bush administration, the National Day of Prayer received the royal treatment.  There was a big event at the White House with conservative Christian leaders.

Not this time.
