This Friday, the diocese of Central New York will attempt to take over the assets and property of Church of the Good Shepherd, Binghamton, New York. This parish has a vibrant evangelical ministry and runs a soup kitchen. It has made two formal offers to buy the property from the diocese, from which it is disaffiliated.
O Lord, we cry out for Your kingdom to come to the corner of Livingston and Conklin in Binghamton, New York. Protect Your lambs from the rulers, the authorities, the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Good Shepherd, stand over this congregation, we pray.
