WINTER PARK, Fla. (DPS, March 10) -- Prayer releases God's mighty power. That is what the Anglican Fellowship of Prayer believes, and that is the theme of its 30th Annual International Prayer Conference. The event will be held at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal May 19-21.
The Fellowship is the primary prayer organization in the Anglican Communion, and holds its annual conferences in various locations in the United States and Canada. The conference is open to all who want to learn more about prayer.
Conference leader will be the Rt. Rev. Patrick Harris, who has keynoted the last two National Episcopal Conferences on Renewal, Evangelism and Ministry sponsored by PEWSACTION. The former bishop of Northern Argentina, Harris is now executive secretary of the Partnership for World Mission in London. His three addresses will be centered around the priority of prayer and the power of prayer.
Bible study leader for the Conference will be the Rt. Rev. John Sperry, bishop of the Arctic. He is the missionary bishop of the largest diocese (geographically) in the Anglican Communion. Sperry is considered one of the finest Bible teachers of our day.
The Most Rev. Michael Peers, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, will be the banquet speaker. There will also be other key speakers; a total of 27 different field trips, seminars, and workshops to choose from; worship in Christ Church Cathedral; a healing service in historic St. George's Church; and a children's program.
