WASHINGTON - The president of Aglow International says at its weekend conference, some 2,000 women prayed outside the U.S. Capitol for the nation, the upcoming election and the troubled economy.
Jane Hansen Hoyt suggests that the present economic crisis was preceded by a moral crisis, so this is a time for Americans to turn back to God. She laments that while U.S. currency says "In God We Trust," the next generation of Americans will be "inheriting quite a debt."
Aglow International is a charismatic Christian women's organization with branches worldwide.
While Aglow doesn't endorse candidates, Hoyt says many of its members feel a sisterly bond with Governor Sarah Palin and are excited that she's the Republican nominee for vice president.
