Learn more about the national 40 Days for Life campaign. 40 Days for Life is an Inter-Faith Campaign (Interview with Shawn Carney by Life Site News) LSN: You’ve also mentioned that you have other Christian ministers out there as well. Please tell me more about the inter-faith aspect of 40 Days for Life. CARNEY: For us, it hasn’t been that difficult of a thing, and I think it’s due to the way it’s set up. It’s just rooted in prayer, we have an ongoing theme of 40 days, for how God uses 40 days throughout Scripture. At the root of the campaign it’s something we all share in common. I mean, I’m Catholic, and there are tons of Catholics involved in 40 Days for Life, and we have more Catholics involved than Protestants, but Protestants are particularly attracted to it. Particularly the Evangelicals, and the Lutherans. We get a lot of people from different faiths, because it’s based on prayer, it’s based on fasting. I particularly, as a Catholic, love to see the enthusiasm we’ve gotten from our Protestant brethren. I just gave a speech in Oklahoma City, and a Protestant minister was talking about the power of fasting, and that what attracted him to 40 Days for Life is we put emphasis on that. So number one, we have to stand together, because abortion demands that we do. It calls us to a sense of urgency that no other social issue does. So we don’t have the “luxury” of disliking one another. We have to join together to fight our culture. But number two, it really brings us together on the things that we have in common: faith in our Lord, faith in redemption, faith in salvation, and the idea that prayer matters. That we can pray for other people, and at a place where it will be the most effective. This whole campaign puts its faith in prayer. If prayer doesn’t work then we are wasting our time, and wasting too much time outside. But it does work, and I think that is what bonds people together, and that confidence that God will heed our call. |
