The Lectionary has connected churches and Christians for centuries to read the same Scripture passages from week to week. Now, One Prayer is connecting all kinds of churches using web and video technologies!
For the month of June 2008, hundreds of churches around the world will share and use video messages from pastors of many denominations to teach & preach about prayer, to demonstrate how Christ's one church together can exemplify Jesus' prayer to "make us one." At the time of this writing, 759 churches are joined in, with a few more weeks to go, maybe there'll be over 1,000 churches connected into this One Prayer.
In short, churches are joining in for 1 week of teaching from their own pastor along with 3 weeks of video Bible teaching on prayer from other excellent Bible teachers. Free communication resources are available to mobilize churches for a month of corporate prayer, missions outreach, and more -- read more details for how this works and how your church can get connected.
Aside: I'm just a little bummed that I didn't stay up on the pulse that LifeChurch.tv was in New York City the same time I was there, to shoot their video teaching for One Prayer. Bobby Gruenewald has posted raw footage from their NYC adventure.
