Presiding bishop calls for Easter season of prayer for violence-riven regions

The Episcopal Church's presiding bishop, the Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, has called for a season of prayer for regions of the Anglican Communion which are experiencing violence and civil strife.

“In this season of resurrection, I call on everyone to pray for our brothers and sisters in areas where there is much burden and little hope,” the Curry said in a March 29 release from the Episcopal Church's Office of Public Affairs.
 
Citing Galatians 6:2, "Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ," Curry called for prayer throughout the holy season of Easter. Beginning on April 3 and proceeding through Pentecost, May 15, Episcopalians are asked to pray for particular provinces or regions, including Burundi, Central America, Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Middle East, Pakistan and South Sudan.
