Amid a nation torn apart by leftist agendas of racism and sexism, even body-mutilating campaigns for transgenderism, where Democrats and other progressives protest when suspects in criminal cases are charged and law-enforcement efforts actually are blocked, where for years Democrat presidents have ridiculed and belittled the Christian faith, a huge event developed in Washington, D.C.
It followed an agenda that hit high points when Barack Obama ridiculed a group of people for "clinging" to their Bibles, then told the international community America no longer is a Christian nation, and when Hillary Clinton derided her "basket of deplorables" to include members of faith, and Joe Biden made among his highest priorities the LGBTQ agenda which sets itself in direct opposition to the basic teachings of Christianity.
The event, in fact, was a communion service with tables stretching more than a mile.
In the Christian church communion involves members of the faith taking a small token, often a wafer or cracker, and a bit of juice or wine as a representation of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, whose own sacrifice as the blameless lamb took on the sins of the world, providing forgiveness and an open door to salvation for eternity through acceptance of that gift.
A report at CBN said thousands of people gathered on the National Mall to "lift up the name of Jesus."
"The blowing of the Shofar symbolized the National Mall becoming Holy Ground for planting seeds of spiritual renewal. Thousands of believers came together, representing all 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico and Israel," the report said.
Speakers declared, "Jesus, we need your leadership. We repent!"
"Breaking up into small groups, some knelt, sat, or stood. All holding hands as they fervently prayed for God to have an impact on the nation," the report said.
CBN explained participant Andrea Lafferty said, "And when they sang about the blood of Jesus. You know bloodshed in America. They've taken it from beyond pro-life to meaning bloodshed in our schools, in our streets. This is a new opportunity for us to speak life into our awesome nation."
David Bradshaw organized the event, under the name of Communion America, and told CBN, "I believe that God is calling the Church outside the four walls. And so we're believing for tables of communion and outbreaks of worship and outreach on every university in America."
The communion table on the mall stretched for a mile or more between the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol.
