(New York, N.Y.)—You may not have heard about this on CNN or MSNBC, but you’ll “hear” it here on BCN: On Sunday, September 20, 60,000 people gathered in Times Square to pray for one hour at a Christian rally dubbed “Prayer in the Square.” (Photo: NYCprayer.org)

According to a WorldNetDaily report, event organizers from Time Square Church had expected about 15,000 to attend but their expectations “were far exceeded at the third event of its kind in the last three years.”

Said Carter Conlon, pastor of the Times Square Church: “The Lord called us to host, fund and organize this event for the last three years. He told us that the first year would establish credibility with the city, and we have received positive feedback from various city agencies, including the office of the Mayor himself, commending us for honesty, order, and keeping our word. The second year confirmed to local churches that this was not the beginning of some new ministry but rather a gathering for the sole purpose of one hour of prayer, in humility, with all denominations represented and no personalities or ministry showcased. Those who have attended can attest to the fact that this has been so. Everything has unfolded exactly as the Lord impressed upon our hearts it would.”

Delegates Walk Out on Anti-Semitic Speech

Israel is once again being targeted by the international community, as delegates meet at the U.N. anti-racism conference in Geneva, Switzerland. The United States, along with Australia, Canada, Germany, Poland and Italy are among those who boycotted the conference. Washington’s decision was based in part on a conference document that “singles out” Israel in its criticism and conflicts with the United States “commitment to unfettered free speech.”

As Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, took the podium at the opening of the international anti-racism conference, he accused Israel of having a “racist government” and committing genocide. As he continued his speech, members of the European Union left the room. British and Spanish delegations also walked out.

EDITOR’S NOTE: While Breaking Christian News’ main focus is the good news of the Kingdom and evidences of God’s hand in our world today; occasionally certain difficult and tragic events warrant sending out a prayer request. This is one of those circumstances, and we at BCN ask the Body of Christ to join with us in prayer for Believers in Iraq, and all of those touched by these horrific acts of terrorism. These are our brothers and sisters-in-Christ who are hurting. –Aimee Herd, BCN.
