From the Scriptures
"Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, 'O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.'"
Daniel 3:16-18 (ESV)
"...bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you."
Luke 6:28 (ESV)

A Heritage Reflection
"First, that Christ hath set up a Church, needeth no declaration. Secondly, what force of princes, kings, monarchs, governors, and rulers of this world, with their subjects, publicly and privately, with all their strength and cunning, have bent themselves against this Church! And, thirdly, how the said Church, all this notwithstanding, hath yet endured and holden its own! What storms and tempests it hath overpast, wondrous it is to behold...."

A request - rather a plea - Would you ask Archbishop Duncan and others to consider a regular prayer ACNA blog that leads us in unified prayer and addresses the spiritual issues and needs of ACNA and the orthodox dioceses and parishes - like you had here for a while?
I'm sure it would be too much for one contributor, but if there were several, it might not be too much a burden on anyone.
