many other pastors from various Christian denominations, as well as political figures (whose names I couldn&#8217;t hear very well over the sound system), were there to encourage and pray with us.\u00a0 There was music interspersed as well, including our National Anthem, Amazing Grace, and concluding with the Battle Hymn of the Republic to send us on our way.\u00a0 The crowd sang along with gusto!<\/p>\n<p>Here are my pics from the day.\u00a0 We were not able to get close enough to see the speakers (my thanks to Matthew Sprinkle for the great pic of our Bishops above), but these give you an idea of the event anyway.\u00a0 I hope you have a chance to look around at some of the non-MSM coverage of the events in your vicinity.\u00a0 (I say non-MSM because I&#8217;m pretty sure based on past experience, that it was barely covered, and if it was, the reporting was biased and inaccurate.)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\"
