Governor Plans Service to Pray for Rain
ATLANTA 07 – What to do when the rain won’t come? If you’re Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, you pray.
The
governor will host a prayer service next week to ask for relief from
the drought gripping the Southeast.”The only solution is rain, and the
only place we get that is from a higher power,” Perdue spokesman Bert
Brantley said on Wednesday.Perdue’s office has sent out invitations to
leaders from several faiths for the service, set for Tuesday.Perdue has
several times mentioned the need for prayer – along with water
conservation – as the state’s drought crisis has worsened. Over the
summer, he participated in day of prayer for agriculture at a gathering
of the Georgia Farm Bureau in Macon, Ga.

Perdue, a Baptist, has
enjoyed strong support from Georgia’s Christian conservatives.The
Southeast has been suffering from an intense drought in recent months
that has threatened supplies of drinking water. Georgia has been locked
in a battle with Alabama and Florida over how much water should be sent
downstream from the state’s dwindling reservoirs.Governors from the
three states reached a temporary agreement after meeting with Bush
administration officials in Washington.The prayer service will be held
outside the state Capitol on Tuesday. Unless, of course, it rains.”Then
we’ll move it inside, thankfully,” Brantley said.
