Multi-City Prayer Hour Offers Alternative to the National Prayer Breakfast Whose Leaders Have Apparent Ties to Uganda's Draconian Anti-Homosexuality Bill
What: On Tuesday, February 2, 2010 key religious leaders will hold a press conference to announce the formation of The American Prayer Hour, a multi-city event on Thursday, February 4, 2010, with key events in Washington, DC, Dallas, Chicago and Berkeley. The American Prayer Hour events will affirm inclusive values and call on all nations, including Uganda, to decriminalize the lives of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. The American Prayer Hour provides an alternative to the National Prayer Breakfast, which is sponsored by The Family (aka The Fellowship), a group with disturbing ties to those spearheading Uganda's oppressive Anti-Homosexuality Bill.
When: Tuesday, February 2, 2010 -- 10:30 a.m. (EST)
Where: The National Press Club (Washington, DC) Murrow Room 529 14th St. NW, 13th Floor - Washington, DC 20045
Who:
Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church Frank Schaeffer, author, "Crazy For God: How I Grew Up As One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right and Lived to Take All of it Back." Harry Knox, The Human Rights Campaign, Director of Religion and Faith Moses, A gay Ugandan man seeking asylum in The United States Rev. Elder Darlene Garner, Metropolitan Community Church, Vice-Moderator Board of Elders Bishop Carlton Pearson, Senior Minister at Chicago, Illinois's Christ Universal Temple
Background: Uganda is considering the Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009, put forth by parliamentarian David Bahati and initially backed by President Yoweri Museveni. If passed, the new law would unleash a vicious campaign of persecution against LGBT citizens. Bahati and President Museveni are members of The Family and are among their "key men" in Africa. The Family hosts the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington. The American Prayer Hour will show that such cruelty and extremism does not represent most people of faith.

I would call it a genocidal anti-homosexual bill. The death penalty is more than draconian.
