| 'Pray at the pump' pilgrims claim credit for petrol price fall |
| 2008-08-18 |
| A prayer group in Washington DC is claiming the credit for the recent sharp drop in the US price of petrol. Rocky Twyman, 59, a veteran community campaigner, started Pray At The Pump meetings at petrol stations in April. Since then, the average price of what the US calls gasoline has fallen from more than $4 a gallon to $3.80. "We don't have anybody else to turn to but God," Mr Twyman told the BBC. "We have to turn these problems over to God and not to man." Ummm... Right. Pass the snakes. |

| #1 We have to turn these problems over to God and not to man I think that has been tried and if my memory serves well, it did not work that well. Say, can you pray for 2 bucks reduction? |
