Gulf Coast Interfaith Prayer Service
by Terry Trahan, Jr.
Local church leaders are clinging to faith in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion, which killed 11 men and spawned the largest oil spill in U.S. history on April 20.
On July 30, exactly 100 days after the rig first started pumping crude into the Gulf of Mexico’s open waters, Bayou Interfaith Shared Community Organizing plans to host a Gulf Coast Interfaith Prayer Service at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center. The service begins at 7 p.m. and features 20 pastors from area churches offering prayer, backed by a community choir.
“We’re asking people and the country to pray on that day,” says Sharon Gauthe, executive director of BISCO, whose mission includes 18 congregations from the area. Click here for the rest of the story...
