ValuableBequests Bequests mean a great deal to churches, dioceses, and other church-related organizations. The importance of making a will that includes religious institutions of all kinds cannot be over-empha sized. Parish churches, mission congregations, theological seminar ies, and church-related schools and colleges all benefit greatly from the generosity of people who were serious about planned giving. In some places, sound teaching by parish clergy and diocesan stewardship and planned-giving officers have done much to improve matters. Church members are often amazed to learn that even a modest bequest can make a big difference in the ongoing life of a congregation. Likewise, bequests mean a great deal to the Living Church Foun dation. Bequests to this independent foundation during the past decade have enabled it to increase its endowment, to take part in a strategic planning process, and to improve various elements of our day-to-day business. Persons who leave money or stock to the Liv ing Church Foundation will have the satisfaction of knowing they are making it possible for future generations to have this magazine, whether they choose to receive it by mail or in the new online ver sion. Because of our non-profit status, bequests to the Living Church Foundation are tax deductible. Now in its 130th year, THELlvrNG CHURCHhas raised the thinking Frequent prayer, of Episcopalians and other Anglicans from local congregationalism by individuals and protestant sectarianism to an understanding of themselves and of their church as part of a worldwide and catholic communion. We and in common, urge readers to remember their parish churches and the Living Church Foundation in their wills. Persons who are considering mak is essential for ing a gift to the foundation may contact the general manager for additional information. the health of the church. Especiallyin Need of Prayer During the past year, we have been among those calling for increased prayer for the church. As is often the case, prayer usually increases during times of need, and the church finds itself in one of those times. Such events as the Lambeth Conference, the recent GAFCON event, the Church of England following its controversial General Synod vote [TLC,July 27] and the ongoing crisis of author ity are all deserving of prayers. On a recent occasion, when we urged increased prayer for the church, a reader called and asked for suggestions on how to pray for the church. We are pleased to be of assistance. For those involved in private prayer or who are in a group, the Book of Common Prayer offers possibilities. We would suggest the prayers For the Unity of the Church (p. 255 and p. 818), For the Mission of the Church (p. 257 and p. 816), and For the Church (p. 816). In addition, the Solemn collect for Good Friday at the bottom of p. 280 is particularly appro priate, as is the collect for Proper 6 (p. 230). In most congregations, prayers or petitions for the church are found in the Prayers of the People during the Sunday Eucharist, and there are places in the Daily Offices where prayers for the church are suitable. Frequent prayer, by individuals and in common, is essential for the health of the church. We cannot overstate the importance of it now.
