LOUISVILLE – (PNS) The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is participating in a faith-inspired mobilization for health care reform in an Interfaith Week of Prayer for Health Care for All, June 19-26.
The week will feature an Interfaith Service of Witness and Prayer June 24, 4-8 p.m., at Washington, D.C.'s Freedom Plaza, in view of our nation's Capitol.
A critical part of this mobilization has been "echo events" where members of faith communities all across the country are lifting up their common concern for equitable health care reform. Beginning June 19, prayer breakfasts, Health Care Sabbaths, bell ringing, candlelight vigils, call-in days, postcards, media events and more are giving people of faith the opportunity to make a public witness about the moral imperative of health care for all.
PC(USA) has a long history of calling for health care for all through a national medical plan, and in 2008 endorsed the principle of single payer health care reform.
