An array of religious organizations are launching a concerted effort to push for health reform. With rallies, prayer services and ad campaigns and more, they are aiming to push Congress into action. The latest is the Faithful Reform in Health Care coalition, which will gather for an "Interfaith Service of Witness and Prayer" in Washington this week and claims to be the largest faith-inspired mobilization around health care ever. June 19-26 Faithful Reform in Health Care will be holding their "Interfaith Week of Prayer for Health Care for All." Among other activities, the center will be the Interfaith Service of Witness and Prayer on Wednesday, June 24, 4:00-8:00 pm, at Washington DC's Freedom Plaza, in view of the nation's Capitol.
Faithful America, which is clergy dedicated to healthcare reform, is a coalition also greatly involved.
