Upcoming event...

HERNDON, VA - SEPTEMBER 7, 2007 - 15th Annual International Week of Prayer & Fasting (October 5-13, 2007) – the International Week of Prayer & Fasting Coalition has seen a huge expansion of its original mission and continued growth. Originally established to promote a “culture of life” around the world, this coalition has witnessed a transformation of sorts since it began.

Coalition Chairperson Maureen Flynn says the expansion of the group’s mission is ongoing. “This is actually a coalition, a grassroots effort of groups from all over the world that we have been working with for over 15 years,” she notes, “and as we have approached more problems in the world, especially with terrorism and the decline of the culture of life, this grassroots movement has grown.”

Leaders from around the globe will share strategies for saving lives.

The first International Symposium on Euthanasia, "Current Issues and Future Directions," is set for Nov. 30-Dec. 1 in Toronto. It is being organized by the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition of Canada, and will allow leaders to discuss strategies for stopping the euthanasia movement.

"The conference is going to bring together leaders and people concerned about euthanasia from all around the world," said Rita Marker, executive director of the International Task Force on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide. "We definitely have to be concerned about what is happening everywhere."

Marker pointed out that assisted-suicide supporters from Oregon traveled to Britain to study its policies before Oregon passed its own law in 1997.
