Almost every night for the last six weeks, Lauren Anderson and several friends have gathered at midnight at Faith Community Bible Church in Madison for an informal, self-led communion service. The UW-Madison students break bread together and pray, believing the intense, focused devotional time elicits tangible results, from deeper personal connections to God to greater unity among believers. In the past, the focus of the prayers primarily was on the UW-Madison campus and the spiritual health of its students. This year, due in part to the partisan rancor in the state, the congregation broadened the focus to include the healing of relationships throughout the city and state.
