LOUISVILLE, Ky.--A Presbyterian Prayer Breakfast will precede the "Stand 
for Children" rally scheduled for June 1 at the Lincoln Memorial in 
Washington D.C.  The breakfast will be held at New York Avenue Presbyterian 
Church. 
 
     Keynote speaker is the Rev. Eileen Lindner, a Presbyterian who is 
associate general secretary of the National Council of Churches.  The 
breakfast program will also include updates on the Presbyterian Church's 
work on behalf of children, music by a children's choir and a prayer 
service. 
 
     Participants will then walk together under a Presbyterian Church 
banner to the Capitol Mall for the "Stand for Children," a nonpartisan 
rally to highlight the need to improve the lives of children.  The rally is 
sponsored by the Children's Defense Fund. 
 
     The breakfast is sponsored by the Presbyterian Child Advocacy Network 
(a constituent organization of the Presbyterian Health, Education and 
Welfare Association), the Presbyterian Hunger Program, the Presbyterian 
Washington Office and New York Avenue Presbyterian Church.
