WASHINGTON – Attendees gathered at Communion America to pray for two revivals. One is religious. The other, national unity.
“Politics are the talking heads, you know, nobody’s made any points with the other side,” said David Clemons, artist and Idaho resident. “We’ve kind of reached an impasse, and it’s a God-sized problem, so it needs a God-sized solution.”
This event brought a Communion Table to the National Mall, stretching a mile and a half from the Capitol to the Washington Monument. People from all 50 states gathered for four days of nonstop prayer.
It was the first gathering of the Christian-focused event since 2017 and the first to feature the communion table. Organizers like Kyle Barr hope the gathering is an antidote to divisions in the country.
“There’s been so much hate and crimes going on and killings, you know, shootings,” Barr said. “And we just really believe that Jesus is the answer. And so now we need to – instead of spreading hate, we want to spread peace and unity.”
Attendees said they felt it was important in this current tense political climate.
