Prayerful Reflection Needed Ahead of Debate

Prayerful Reflection Needed Ahead of Debate

 (Sean Locke/Dreamstime)

Dr. Alveda C. King By Monday, 26 September 2016 04:27 PM EDT Current | Bio | Archive

Today, as the first round of the U.S. general election presidential debates approaches, two parties will be represented on stage tonight. Which party will champion all human life from the womb to the tomb?

As the candidates go through their preparation regiments for tonight's battle, we need to prepare to listen without having our feelings prevent us from hearing truth.

This cannot be a personality contest or an emotional who owes us an apology exercise. We can't afford to be distracted by division.

We, the Acts 17:26 "One Blood, One Human Race" family must unite in prayer so that God will heal our nation!

"We must learn to live together as brothers [and sisters] or perish as fools." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is now time to consider the platforms. Which candidate will promote justice, safety, and human dignity for all Americans, in the womb, after birth and throughout their lives?

Please join and support this urgent prayer appeal by praying with us the Election Prayer for Life.

Also, please agree with me in prayer at and sign this ppen letter, "You Need to Vote."

Also, since the African American community is in the spotlight during this election cycle, you might find this Town Hall Meeting of interest.

Finally, as we prepare to view tonight's debate, pray for the candidates and continue to support us as we pray for America.

Dr. Alveda C. King grew up in the civil rights movement led by her uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She is director of African-American outreach for Priests for Life and Gospel of Life Ministries.
