Today is Women's World Day of Prayer and you can be pretty sure, in the UK atleast, that there will be an ecumenical service at some point today not too far from where you are.

The website says, "Women's World Day of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christian women who come together to observe a common day of prayer held on the first Friday in March each year, and who, in many countries, have a continuing relationship in prayer and service. Through Women's World Day of Prayer women are encouraged to become aware of their talents and use them in the service of the wider community."

For me the power of this is that, as you can see, it's not just about giving a token nod to women or women's issues, rather it is about empowerment as much as prayer.
