ENI – To boost morale and ease the Monday blues, the (Anglican) Church of England offered early morning commuters on September 1 a prayer published in a freesheet morning newspaper read by some 1.5 million who travel by train and subway on their way to work throughout Britain.
The prayer, contained in an advertisement paid for by the church, asks for God's help in dealing with everyday concerns of home and business life. The initiative is in response to a poll commissioned by the Church of England of some 1,200 randomly-selected people which found that as the new season begins in the workplace and at home, one third expressed the wish to make a change in their lifestyle as they anticipated an extra busy period at work, a prospect which one in eight people said they "dreaded."
