Do you feel the power of prayers? Well, former General Secretary of the Pacific Conference of Churches said he felt it after he and his community of Tonga were prayed for worldwide.

Jeff Bilbro – Grove City College & Front Porch Republic

An excerpt from Paul Kingsnorth’s, The Migration of the Holy blogpost:

We are worshipping something in our world, as we have always done, and understanding this is crucial to seeing the battles and divides of our time. There is nothing ‘rational’ about this world we have built, however much we might pretend otherwise. Does the world since the Enlightenment in the West – the world of Robespierre, Hitler, Stalin and Hiroshima – look ‘rational’ to you, or does it look like a world in which the Holy has migrated from the Heavenly to the Earthly realm, and is making mischief daily in the ruins?
