George Barna published the results of a survey a few months ago; approximately 246,000 abortions were performed last year on women who described themselves as "born again Christians", some 15% of all abortions. I believe 37% of all abortions were performed on women who identified themselves as belonging to mainstream churches. From the time of the Pilgrims onward until at least the National Day of Prayer and Fasting in 1976, the church preached repentance and fasting; collective repentance as a nation and as a church, but repentance has been replaced with the gospel of prosperity and materialism.

Yes, the recent calls for "prayer" and the public "prayer meetings" have been pathetic -- no mention of individual or collective repentance and humility before God; rather, social psychobabble sessions replacing that God whose many attributes include justness and righteousness with one who is merely an emotional comforter.
