Anglican Church set for seven-day fasting and prayers for 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.

    Prayers for peace for Nigeria. It is interesting seeing the church returning to the tried and tested methods of the Old Testament to intercede for their country.
