The magnitude of what is unfolding right now is immense, as several other nations have been moved to imitate Egypt, even as Egypt has followed Tunisia. Many in the U.S. have felt solidarity with their struggle. How do we\u00a0acknowledge world events and bring them to prayer when we gather as a Christian community?<\/p>\n<p>There are no doubt many different answers to that question.

He writes of his transcription that it is \u201ca fairly westernized version based on a simplification in an American Coptic hymnbook.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pray for the people of Egypt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Events in Cairo are having an impact on our world.
