Pray for those touched by war in Iraq
The withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraqi cities and towns on June 30 is a time of remembrance and reflection — a time to look to what has been and to ponder what may be.

Gradye Parsons. This advocacy opportunity is consistent with the action of the 218th General Assembly (2008) calling the U.S. government to assume an “intensive and unrelenting role as a peacemaker.”
