National Prayer Breakfast in the US re-managed  

RELIGIOUS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – The National Prayer Breakfast in America is under new management.

Five years ago, a 29-year-old Russian woman was convicted of spying in the US, partly by using the prayer breakfasts as a way of creating alliances with people of influence.

The Religion News Service reported the breakfast had been run by The International Foundation, also known as “The Family”. The foundation was criticized for being a secretive fundamentalist organisation.

The new management is called the National Prayer Breakfast Foundation; whose president is the former Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor.

It will go back to basics as an event for Congress and the president, with a “Gathering” taking place with “significant international participation”.
