Introducing: A Prayer Circle for the Proclamation's Animals
Join Deacon Joseph Dwyer for an ongoing series of monthly prayer circles for the world's animals.
by Kris Haley, Best Friends Manager of Multifaith OutreachAs one of the faith leaders who co-authored the
Religious Proclamation for Animal Compassion, Deacon Joe is launching the first in a series of online prayer circles for the world's animals, the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, November 23rd at 12:00 noon EST...and YOU can join him right here on the Animals & Religion Network Community!
Deacon Joe will begin the prayer circle by reviewing the five calls to action in the Religious Proclamation for Animal Compassion, calling attention to the animals who are impacted in each of those statements; then, he will offer prayers specifically for those animals. The prayer circle will continue with prayers offered for the animals requested by YOU! They can be your companion animals or any animals for whom you seek prayer support.

Either way, at a time convenient for you, just click on the REPLY arrow to add the names of those animals you wish to be included in the prayer. circle. Deacon Joe's prayer will be placed on the FORUM at 12:00 noon EST on Friday, the 23rd, and you can add your prayers by just clicking on the reply arrow, at any time between now and Friday.
