VIRTUAL MARCH FOR THE MDGS
On July 24, more than 600 Anglican bishops taking part in the Lambeth Conference, their spouses and faith leaders from around the U.K. will march through London on a Walk of Witness for the fulfillment of the Millennium Development Goals. The Episcopal Public Policy Network and Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation are sponsoring a "Virtual March for the MDGs" to coincide with this walk. To participate, register at http://episcopal.grassroots.com/virtualmarch/ Congregations can participate by using "March of Prayer" bulletin inserts for the Sundays of July 20 and 27, which can be downloaded at http://www.e4gr.org/virtualmarch.html

Please Pray for the Lambeth Conference, to be held mid-July, and for the Anglican Communion. Prayer to be used on Sundays and in daily worship:
“Heavenly Father, you have called us in the Body of your Son Jesus Christ to continue his work of reconciliation and reveal you to the world: forgive us the sins which tear us apart; give us the courage to overcome our fears and to seek that unity which is your gift and your will; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.”
