Episcopal Church spends Sunday in prayer for Haiti

'God is present,' presiding bishop tells prayer service

>By Mary Frances Schjonberg and Lynette Wilson

[Episcopal News Service] From Port-au-Prince's cathedral to Washington
National Cathedral to the Haitian Congregation of the Good Samaritan
Episcopal Church in the Bronx to nearly every congregation across the
church Jan. 17,  Episcopalians prayed for the victims and survivors of
the earthquake that devastated Haiti five days earlier.

"Surround Haiti and her people with your loving embrace that they may
be supported by the world in the work of rescue and recovery;
comforted as they grieve; strengthened as they bury their dead; healed
as they tend their wounds; restored in faith and the hope of things
unseen; and transformed through newness of life," the congregation at
National Cathedral prayed during an evening service.
