Prayer change at general convention removes president mention
The Protestant Episcopal church house of deputies voted to drop prayers for the U S president from morning and evening services and substitute a nation safety prayer. The new form omits requests for long life or prosperity and adds wisdom and strength to do Thy will. Also, the governor of this state is not singled out. The changes require bishops approval at a future general convention.
