Sad to say, when I showed last year's pics of the Prayer Breakfast to my Norwegian friend, she couldn't understand why we would have such a thing and was happy that it would never occur in Norway.
I'm pretty close to being a heathen myself, but I can't believe that people would have a problem with the heads of state getting together for some mind and soul clearing prayer or meditation. She feels it hurts the country, I think it can only help.
Do they not have any national church services then in Norway? What about royal functions etc.
I feel sorry for people who don't understand the need for spiritial connection....they also seem to think they are smarter than you by thinking down on praying people
