Religious groups rally, pray for Schiavo
Advertisements [?]
snip>
Behind an orange hurricane fence hung with dead and dying roses, votive candles burn on a table adorned with a picture of the Virgin Mary. As cameras roll, people wave signs that read, "Plz don't give up on what God gave you", "God's Law Will Prevail" and "Thou Shalt not Kill."

Franciscan friars in black robes tied with white ropes mill about, escorting Schiavo's parents and siblings between the news media throng and a makeshift headquarters across from the hospice. Several protesters sport black ribbons around their upper arms, signifying that they are fasting in solidarity with Schiavo.
...
Before that ruling, during a Tuesday afternoon prayer session, the Rev. Sam Greene, a Baptist minister from Palm Bay, said: "I think this is a time for the church to literally bombard the throne of grace."
...
"Those of us in faith have been missing in action," Daubenmire says. "How come Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson aren't laying in front of that door over there? If they really believe a woman is being murdered, where is the church?"
