the [united] church was 'steadfast in prayer'

and while you're at it - reading the article on Virtual that is - why not read probably the best article on unity and prayer that I've read in ages.

I wanted to write the highlights of it here, but Jon Peterson writes brilliantly in this artile "Steadfast for Our Cities"... i may post some reflections in good time...

Just to note though - I've had the article open in my browser for days, knowing I should read it, but I only got round to reading it today and it is perfect timing - just exactly in the moment when I've been thinking a lot about prayer and unity and 'the whole' church here in Gloucester, plus my apparent, if not bemusing, and unearned role in it all...

Solid.
