On Sunday, December 3, 2023, a special three-hour workshop was held at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Georgetown (the oldest Episcopal parish in Washington, D.C., founded in 1796)

Richard J. Marks conducted a special workshop on Prayer as Activism – the process of creating, forming,
and expressing prayers. “Prayers need to not just be created, but to be centered in the heart and shared
(just as we all shared music playlists when we were young). Writing a prayer is the act of creating
something that matters for self-healing, sharing and healing the world. Prayers are foundational, and
aren’t exclusively religious: they give us something to do … new ways of doing life.”
