The World Day of Prayer

Post by hope »

The World Day of Prayer is an international ecumenical Christian laywomen's initiative. It is run under the motto
"Informed Prayer and Prayful Action." and is celebrated annually in over 170 countries on the first Friday in March.

The movement aims to bring together women of various races, cultures and traditions in a yearly common Day of
Prayer, as well as in closer fellowship, understanding and action throughout the year.

The Women's World Day of Prayer started in the USA in 1887, as Mary Ellen Fairchild James, wife of Darwin Rush
James from Brooklyn, New York, called a day of prayer for home mission, and Methodist women called for a week
of prayer and self-denial for foreign missions. Two years later, two Baptists called together a Day of Prayer for the
World Mission. The Day of Prayer initiated by these two women expanded to Canada, then the Beitish Isles in the
1930s. The movement focus on ecumenism and reconciliation led to growth after World War II, Since 1927 the
March day is know as Women's World Day of prayer. Catholic women were allowed to join the movement after the
Second Vatican Council, beginning in 1967, and united what had been their May Day of prayer with the March
Women's World Day of Prayer in 1968.

Mick t welcome to the Oracle Forum community and thank you for your question, do you by any chance have any Irish affiliation or ancestry, I only say that because there is some of that at our end. Anyway my antennae twitched as if another celt was approaching.

973-eht-namuh-973.com is a knowledge collection, exchange and transference site, designed to promote learning which will lead visitors onto alternative positive thought paths that in turn, will motivate them to become part of a universal mind. An amalgamation of enlightened intellectual resource that will hopefully help change the world in which we live into a better place on every level, for all inhabitants of planet Earth.

One might call it a scholarship in the push toward world government, approved by humanity not self serving politicians. A body that will eventually, under the stewardship of states persons of powerful positive intellect, possessing sane and compassionate minds, devoid of ego or obsession with either power or money, hopefully fashion a quality of life for all. A quality of life and law that will dismiss a prevailing rampantly capitalistic self-centred society into history, voiding its gluttonous appetite for precious elementary raw material, that is systematically destroying the human race. Sharing resources dominated by a minority to establish global balance and wellbeing.

You will note that we also hold that transposition of language into number and the resulting patterns appearing within are highly tuned sensory indicators of the stress and crash points that require addressing with great urgency, in order to prevent the whole socio-political system under which we presently exist sliding off the edge of a cliff.
Along with this, we believe that the creative arts in all forms are hugely influential in a more joyful movement for change that will help revive a flagging world and reinvigorate a rapidly declining grasp of spirituality and humanity.
Above all the great ambition is to stimulate alternative thought processes among the 973-eht-namuh-973 community that might result in action plans for the greater good of humankind.

What I add is enter the site with a free spirit unencumbered by preconception and while you might not find an exhaustive list of answers that you are searching for all at once you will most certainly receive some of those answers. But don't give up keep at it as our founder and content architect of the site, David Denison is constantly adding new material.

And indeed figures strongly in the alpha-to-numeric transposition system which is the foundation stone of 973-eht-namuh-973.com which assigns Sadhguru the ultimate power number 9 (Nine can be a spreader of either intense light or repressive darkness).

It would seem apt to add the words of the highly influential Italian educator, physician and writer on scientific pedagogy, Maria Tecla Artemisia Montessori, to this profound chain of thought.

“We cannot create observers by saying 'observe', but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses.”
