A Prayer of Lament
More than twenty Lincoln churches joined in a prayer of lament and reading of the names of Americans and Iraqis who have died in the Iraq War as an act of remembrance during their regular weekly services of worship on Sunday, March 18, immediately prior to the war’s four-year anniversary on March 20.  Each participating congregation read the name of an Iraqi and an American for each worshipper present. Together the churches read all available names of those who have died in the war.
