Trinity Hosts World Day of Prayer The annual World Day of Prayer service will be held at Trinity United Church at 2 p.m, on Friday, March 6, 1998. The speaker is Elaine Barber, Minister of Manchester and Scugog Island Churches. How can we and the Malagasy be good neighbours to each other? This is the central question of the 1998 World Day of Prayer, written by the women of Madagascar. The enormous enormous gaps between our standard of living and the Malagasy's could lead us, and the Malagasy, to despair. But despair is not a "Third World" characteristic, characteristic, and it must not be ours. Neither should our indig- nance that we live in such an unequal world be our sole response. Rather, we should commit ourselves to learning more and taking action for justice. Come to this year's World Day of Prayer service and learn what it means to be a good neighbour in an often unjust world. World Day of Prayer is a global, ecumenical move ment of "informed prayer and prayer-' ful action". On the first Friday, in March each year, people in over 170 countries participate in a common service in their own locality. Services are translated into hundreds of languages languages and dialects. Offerings from World Day of Prayer services in Canada support development and justice projects in Canada and abroad. In Canada, World Day of Prayer is sponsored by the Women's Inter- Church Council of Canada.
