The Call (organization)
The Call is an organization which sponsors prayer meetings led by Lou Engle along with other Christian leaders pastors in the U.S.. The meetings request prayer and fasting by Christians in protest against issues such as same-sex marriage and legal access to elective abortion. The Call has drawn support from American Evangelical leaders, but has also been criticized for intolerance.
==Events==
Originally planned as a co-ed youth version of Promise Keepers,〔 the Call hosts 12-hour or 24-hour events which combine prayer, sermons, and Christian rock worship and gospel music. The events are also known for their cultural and ethnic diversity, described in National Review as "the Breakfast Club of religious gatherings."〔 Speakers at The Call events frequently draw parallels between the pro-life movement and the American Civil Rights Movement. The Call is meant to be a gathering of fasting and prayer to confess personal and national sins, to pray for God’s blessing on the nation, and for spiritual awakening among youth.〔Ed Hornick, (August 13, 2008) (McCain, Obama to address 'values voters' ) CNN〕 Personal and national repentance among Christians and prayer for spiritual awakening has been the core focus of The Call since its inception. Much of the events are devoted to prayer and sermons against abortion and homosexuality.〔Mark Hemmingway (August 18, 2008) (Hearing TheCall ) National Review〕 The Call events has been attended by prominent evangelical leaders such as Mike Huckabee, James Dobson, and Tony Perkins. Engle believes that gatherings such as The Call are necessary to prevent Divine judgment from taking place in the United States due to legalized abortion and the acceptance of homosexuality in American culture.〔Julia Duin, (July 27, 2008) (More fast times at Call on Mall ) Washington Times〕
