I spent the day today in Washington, DC. I was there expressly for the purpose of photographing the major event “The Call”.
The event called sought to gather thousands of young adults together for a day of mourning, fasting, repentance and prayer for the sake of our nation. The event also had an extremely heavy emphasis on abortion issues.
The event was hosted by folks from several churches, but most notably IHOP (International House of Prayer) in Kansas City and Morning Star down in North Carolina.
If you’re at all familiar with Morning Star or IHOP, you know they’re part of, what I call, the hyper-charismatic church. Not a criticism, just trying to get you into today’s environment a bit.
The crowd however was surprisingly diverse. There were folks there from what seemed to be nearly every denomination I can think of. Even the strange ones with dress codes.
Truthfully, I have mixed feelings about the event. I’m torn because of what seems clear to be questionable theology amongst the hosting organizations and much of their execution of the event. However, there were many on the Washington DC mall that were genuinely interceding and fasting on behalf of our nation and the unborn. So, in that respect, I’m encouraged.
I won’t go into the specifics of my theological questions. I’m just not sure how important it is.
Keep an eye on my professional website over the next couple days. I’ll be posting an introduction to the photographs from today as well as a large number of them.
