(August 16, 2008)--The leader of a day of prayer and fasting on the Mall in Washington, D.C. says participants will be praying about another event a continent away.
The Rev. Lou Engle predicts that thousands will take part in The Call DC on Saturday while the Rev. Rick Warren hosts presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama in California.
Engle believes ending abortion is a moral imperative, so he hopes Warren will challenge both Obama and McCain on the issue during the televised candidates' forum.
Warren has said he'll also quiz the candidates about gay marriage, which is now legal in California, although voters there could end it by approving a constitutional amendment on the November ballot.
