Brandt Gillespie, associate pastor at Congregation Lion of Judah’s English Ministry in Boston, Massachusetts: With the annual National Day of Prayer on Thursday, pastors and faith leaders are inviting Americans to join them in prayer for the country.īelow, religious leaders have shared their prayers for the nation and wisdom on how to pray at this moment in America’s history. The opportunity to pray for America is an ever-present one, but knowing what or how to pray for a nation that is debating over the very definition of sex, stands divided on protecting the unborn, and is struggling with a deadly fentanyl epidemic can feel overwhelming. Carlson said he had concluded that “it might be worth taking just 10 minutes out of your busy schedule to say a prayer for the future, and I hope you will.” "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.“I don’t pray enough for the country, and I should,” Tucker Carlson recently said during a speech at The Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary Gala. An appendix, the "Power Investing Resource Guide," has invaluable listings of African American^-managed mutual funds, minority business development centers, African American CPA firms, etc. He has a special chapter for women and ends with an inspirational admonishment that spiritual, physical, intellectual, and financial success all go hand in hand. He argues that three of the major institutions in the lives of African Americans-the church, the civil rights movement, and the public school system-all "failed to teach us the importance of creating wealth." Boston includes chapters on financial planning, home buying, the stock market, insurance, entrepreneurship, credit, and taxes. Taking a holistic approach to money management, Boston also examines attitudes about money and wealth. Blacks average $872 in interest income whites, $7,308. The net worth of blacks in America is under $11,000 of whites, just over $51,000. Noting the disparity in incomes between African Americans and white America, Boston adds several startling contrasts. But Boston uniquely targets African Americans with his advice. His basic advice on saving and investing is not much different from that of the many other financial gurus popular today. Boston is host of the syndicated PBS program The Color of Money and publisher of a new quarterly magazine with the same name.
