On Vacation? Send in Your Prayers via Twitter

In an article for USA Today, Cathleen Falsani writes about the variety of technological services for sending prayers. For example, you can tweet a prayer on Twitter and then send it to a fellow in Tel Aviv who will then have others take it to Jerusalem where it will be tucked into the Western Wall for you. She also notes that The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship at Calvin College has set up six separate "prayer feeds" on Twitter. Buddhists, Muslims, and Hindus also provide comparable services for prayer wheels, five-times-a-day prayer, and devotional songs. You can also visit any one of thousands of online prayer rooms or light a candle at our sister site, Gratefulness.org.
