Rev. Mark D. Boykin, Senior Pastor at Church of All Nations in Boca Raton, Florida, will lead a rally during the National Day of Prayer to pray for our local, county, state and United States leaders.
Pastor Boykin will also denounce leaders from the Tea Party movement and judicial activists for creating a dangerous atmosphere.
The rally will take place on:
Thursday, May 6, 2010
12:00 Noon
Sanborn Square
Boca Raton, Florida
“Today more than ever, we need to pray for our nation and our leaders,” said Pastor Mark D. Boykin. “This year’s National Day of Prayer is more significant, in light of U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb’s ruling that the National Day of Prayer, established by Congress 58 years ago, is unconstitutional,” added Pastor Mark D. Boykin. “It is our constitutional right and our duty as Christians to pray for our leaders,” continued Pastor Mark D. Boykin.
“There is a great deal of discontent in our nation today, yet we must be able to channel our frustration and anger through the ballot box and not by creating an atmosphere of hate,” added Pastor Mark D. Boykin.
“I denounce Tea Party Leaders and groups who gather across the nation armed with weapons and signs of hatred toward our President and our national leaders,” continued Pastor Boykin. “Let me be clear, I do not support some of the actions taken by President Obama and I do not support the Health Care Legislation; however, in our democracy we must show civility in our words and actions.”
“We need to be the voice of reason and not of vitriolic hatred during these difficult economic and political times. We need to unite and not divide our nation,” continued Pastor Mark D. Boykin.
