'Pray at the Pump' activist: 'We shall overcome' high gas prices

Divine intervention, not the market, is bringing gas prices down, one campaigner says.

59-year-old Rocky Twyman of Rockville, Maryland has garnered worldwide attention after holding prayer meetings at gas stations across the United States since April as part of his "Pray at the Pump" drive. Recently, to celebrate a drop in the average price of gasoline to $3.80 a gallon, Twyman led a group meeting at their inaugural Washington service station, singing a version of "We Shall Overcome" whose words were changed to "We'll have to lower gas prices."

"We believe not just in prayer," Twyman said, "because we believe that faith without works is dead. So we've encouraged people to car-pool more and organise their days more, because it's a combination of faith with these other factors."

"God is the only one we can turn to at this point," Twyman said during an April stop in San Francisco.

for high oil prices so far? He's angry at our lack of prayer?

But this ain't necessarily a miracle of biblical proportions. But under 2 bucks, Woohoo, bring on the Rapture!!!!

It'll need some help this coming winter.
