SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A choir director who hopes prayer can bring
down high gas prices is trying out his approach at some of the
costliest pumps in the country.
Rocky Twyman of Washington, D.C., came to San Francisco over the
weekend to stage a pray-in at a Chevron station. He is also calling
on churchgoers to ask for God's intervention where he says
politicians have failed.
Gas costing $4 a gallon or more has become common around the San
Francisco Bay area.
The 59-year-old Twyman says people praying for cheaper fuel
should also walk more and use car pools.
Twyman also works as a community organizer and public relations
consultant. He has led campaigns to nominate Oprah Winfrey for the
Nobel Peace Prize and to encourage African Americans to donate bone
marrow.
