Impact!

Mar 14 2024 • 29 mins

Join us for a look at news stories from around the world this week, some of which may not be making the headlines where you are, as we consider where and how we might focus our intentions and prayers.

Shared intention

In a week in which we especially remember the role played by courageous women in affecting change, we suggest keeping those brave souls campaigning for compassionate treatment in Iran as our main intention this week:

We will that those who continue to campaign for women’s rights in Iran have the courage, strength and insight to know how to most effectively make their protest while minimising the risk of harm to themselves.

Please join us in holding this.
