National Day of
Interfaith Inclusive Prayer
May 1, 2008

Resolution Adopted by the 223rd Convention
of the Episcopal Diocese of Delaware,
meeting at St. Phillip’s Church, Laurel, April 12, 2008

IN CELEBRATION of the way our individual lives, our communities, and our nation are enriched by the diversity of cultures and faith traditions that make up the fabric of our country, be it resolved that this Convention urges all elected officials and event planners to create May 1, 2008, to be an interfaith Inclusive National Day of Prayer.

EXPLANATION:  What was created by President Truman in 1952 to be a National Prayer Day for all Americans has evolved to become an almost exclusively Christian event. It is our hope that promoting an annual interfaith Inclusive National Day of Prayer will nurture greater understanding and mutual respect among all of God's children and help heal divisions in our society.
