Washington D.C. — The 2007 Annual National Prayer Breakfast will be co-chaired by U.S. Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-MO). Only a freshman Representative, Cleaver has served since his election in 2004 as Secretary of the House’s weekly prayer meetings.

“It is a great honor to be asked to chair this amazing event. Though I am a Methodist minister, my sincere hope is to make it inclusive and exciting to all faiths. Prayer is a universal language, and I will do everything I can to make it an event that brings people together to celebrate what we have in common.” Cleaver said.
