WATCH: #PoorPeoplesCampaign National Prayer Call | From Insurrection to Resurrection twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
“Hate evil and love good,
then work it out in the public square.
Maybe God, the God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
will notice your remnant and be gracious.”
Amos 5:15 (The Message)

Praying now: Rev. Traci Blackmon, one of 21 faith leaders who are joining @MadisonSiriusXM in his hunger strike for voting rights starting today. #Jan6th
Rev. Blackmon just reminded us that #Jan6th is Epiphany, which in the Christian tradition means a time of revelation. What does the insurrection that happened on this day reveal about our nation, reveal about our calling in this moment, reveal about what God is calling us to?
Praying now: Rabbi Alissa Wise @AlissaShira: “Let us not let the fire go out on a racial awakening or a vision of a world without poverty.” #Jan6th #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Praying now: Bishop Lawrence Reddick, The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church: “We call upon you today, through our various faith perspectives, for direction and wisdom at a crucial time in our nation’s history.” #Jan6th #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Praying now: Imam Saffet Catovic @ISNAHQ: “We pray for a safe and secure future for ourselves and our nation.” #Jan6th #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Praying now: Dr. Adam Barnes @Kairos_Center: “Let us not be misled and confused by the idols of nationalism, that is not God. Let us instead listen to the cries of the oppressed.” #Jan6th #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Praying now: Rev. Dr. Robin Tanner: “Fill us with courage, Beloved One. ... Courage to believe that the just world, Your world, is possible & together to make it so. To make it so, not by sword or by torment but by nonviolence & liberation.” #Jan6th #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Praying now: Rev. Dr. @LizTheo: “On this day, the anniversary of a violent insurrection ... we commit, we re-commit to bringing your reign, God, of everybody in, nobody out, to earth.” #Jan6th #PoorPeoplesCampaign
The prayers of the righteous availeth much. As Walter Wink once said, with our prayers “we rattle the cage of God.”
