From Nigeria-
The Anglican Church has declared a seven-day fasting and prayers for Nigeria and its leadership, Primate of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, has said.
Okoh disclosed this at the 2011 Carnival for Christ, a gathering of all Anglicans in the diocese of Abuja.
He said that the prayers and fasting would begin from Nov. 28 to Dec. 3 and that the prayers would be directed at God's intervention for peace to return to the country.
Okoh said that the forces of evil that had taken over some parts of the country could only be defeated through prayers to God.
"It was decided during the general synod that a seven-day prayer and fasting be organised for the president and for the whole country.
"To pray for peace; to pray for the cessation of attacks; that God should intervene in our affairs because this new dimension of throwing bombs we have never seen it before and it's almost killing the psyche of the people of the country.
