The Church of the Incarnation, Dallas, is organizing a prayer vigil to coincide with the May 1-13 meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) in Jamaica.
The foremost items on the agenda for the ACC meeting will be consideration of a proposed Anglican Covenant and reception of the final report of the Windsor Continuation Process. “Both of these documents are key to discerning a way forward for the Anglican Communion in light of recent stresses caused by differences over matters of human sexuality,” according to a recent media release by the Anglican Communion News Service.
In addition to having individuals pray at the parish during the times that the ACC will be in session, the parish is also encouraging individuals to volunteer to pray via the internet.
Organizers at Incarnation decided to create the prayer vigil after being challenged to do so by Archbishop Josiah Idowu-Fearon of the Province of Kaduna in the Anglican Church of Nigeria.
“Let all Anglicans who believe in the power of prayers get to work,” Archbishop Fearon said. “My conviction is that our praying together is able to make [The Episcopal Church] and the Canadian [Church] part of our family discuss(ion) and (will help them) miraculously accept the proposed Covenant for the Communion. Nothing is beyond the Lord who owns his Church.”
