Week of Prayer Program Sent From London in Wartime
The World's Evangelical Alliance of London sends its 1916 week of prayer program to American correspondents and Christian leaders with a mourning message. It urges gatherings in non church meeting places across cities for one week of prayers to end wars, noting January 5 as the prayer date for freedom from war. The missive marks the alliance as a fading yet enduring 19th century relic, once influential after the Civil War, now overshadowed in the United States by other groups.
