USA (NDOP/MNN) ― The United States of America is rooted in Christianity.
And yet, says the National Day of Prayer (NDOP) Task Force, atheists and
anti-religion lobbyists are constantly attacking the United States'
Judeo-Christian foundation.
Today, on the National Day of Prayer, millions are uniting in direct
opposition to these attacks. According to the NDOP Task Force, today's
event will be the largest prayer day on record. Individuals are being
asked to pray, petition, and be a voice of reason.

The 23 percent number puts evangelicals above the other categories, which included "Practicing Protestant" (16 percent), "All Christians" (14 percent), "Practicing Catholic" (14 percent), "Non Evangelical Born Again Christians" (13 percent), and "Notional" (13 percent).READ MORE AT THE CHRISTIAN POST

This act of desecration was deemed fitting for one who had been posthumously condemned as a heretic. But, as Donald Roberts says so eloquently, it was by no means the end of his legacy for, “As history has revealed, Wycliffe's bones were much more easily dispersed than his teachings, for out of a sea of controversy and angry disputation rose his greatest contribution—the English Bible.”
