Listening to God and to one another
As we continue to explore our future together we remain constantly aware of the need to be a people who are committed to prayer and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Many would argue that this reality is taken for granted but there is a sense in which we need to continually re-affirm this as the consultation continues. To this end the Baptist Union has prepared Futures Prayer Focus 1 ‘Listening for the voice of God’ which which it is hoped will be the first of many. The purpose is not so much to offer an update on the process itself but to foster an appropriate attitude and spirit within all those who are affected by, and participate in, the important task in which we are now engaged. |

Please pray for Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani. He has apparently never practiced the Muslim faith, converting to Christianity at age 19, and becoming a pastor later. Having been originally sentenced to death on the charge of apostasy, the Iranian authorities have recently declared that other charges are involved, which appears to be a reaction to international criticism of the verdict. 
The British Foreign Secretary has condemned the immnent execution. Read more [here].

What an amazing year this has been. We have seen the Arab Spring turn into an ugly and increasingly violent Arab Summer. A year ago such developments would have been unthinkable, and they have left the region in a very fragile and vulnerable state. We have also seen terrible natural disasters, with thousands of people losing their lives. And in our own country we have seen an explosion of violence on the streets of many cities during August. ... And alongside all of these challenges sits the convulsions of the money markets and the financial fears which overshadow every aspect of society.
Each of these challenges is colossal – and each of them is beyond us.... Read the rest of this Call to Prayer [here]
