In Rappahannock, this World Day of Prayer will be observed with prayer’ services following the program prepared by Minister Jorgelinda ' Lozada in Trinity Episcopal Church at 11 o’clock.’
Now an international event, die World Day of Prayer dates back to 1887 when a Presbyterian woman in Boston called for a nationwide day of prayer for home missions. >In 1920 the idea was adopted in Canada and seven years later, at the request of Christian leaden in other lands, it became a world-wide observance.
The day’s services begin as die sun rises on the Tonga Islands and continue around the globe until daftness settles over Alaska twenty-four houn later with the final observance held on St. Lawrence Island.
The service is written each year by a woman or group of women from a different nation, then is adapted and translated into scores of tongues and into Braille. The service this year was prepared by Mbs Joregelina Lozada, of Buenos Aires, Argentina, a minister of the Disciples of Christ. One of her country’s ecumenical leaders, Miss. Lozada is the gecretary of religious, education of the Conference of Evangelical Churches in Argentina.
Central to the service is the prayer for understanding among all peoples, for the growth of the Christian church around the entire World and for world peace. It stresses the unity of all Christians though separated by geographical and national boundaries. -*
