The Madeleine McCann Christian Prayer Circle Says God Took Her
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
CHRISTIANITY TODAY: “Christians pray for missing Madeleine”
Christians around the world joined in prayer on Friday for the safe return of missing Madeleine McCann and the release of all children held by criminal networks.
Do the Christians know what happened to Madeleine, then?
The worldwide day of prayer was organised by the Madeleine Prayer Circle.
Join hands…
The group’s John Wearne says:
“We feel that the battle is spiritual and by going through prayer that God will listen to the cries of His people and that this will sway the spiritual balance in Madeleine’s favour.”
Demons took her?
“Everything is done through God and there is total belief that one day Madeleine will one day come home. God may have a greater plan for others and may well be using Madeleine in that plan. We petition God always for His will to be done and ask that Madeleine be brought home.”
So it was God that took Madeleine?
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “Family seeking closure as search resumes for Fiona”
THE mother of missing woman Fiona Pender has only only wish: to lay her daughter to rest alongside her late father and brother.
Sad stuff. Go on:
Ms Pender was eight months pregnant when she went missing on the morning of August 23, 1996. Twelve years after her disappearance, gardai are still trying to find her body.
Such are the facts. And our Maddie?
Officers have told Mrs Pender that a top investigator, who was involved in the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, is working alongside gardai.
Now, there’s a comfort. There might be a book in this, after all. It’s Ireland’s Maddie, no?

Anything good on?
Sunday Theatre: Torn: Child abduction drama that could have been torn from the headlines of the Madeleine McCann case - but then fast-forwards 12 years to the mother thinking she’s seen her missing daughter. Coronation Street’s Bradley Walsh (Danny Baldwin) stars. Part one of two.
Fact and fiction. A super-fiction. Now that’s entertainment…

Calling the unsolved cases the “biggest regret” of his career, Commissioner Byrne set up the special investigation unit at Naas garda station to determine whether a serial killer may be responsible for the disappearance of the women, including Fiona Sinnott (19), Fiona Pender (25), Ciara Breen (18), Annie McCarrick (26), Jo Jo Dullard (21) and Deirdre Jacob (19).
The unit made headlines as recently as March this year when two FBI agents were drafted in to assist it and the garda’s cold case unit, the National Bureau of Criminal Investigations (NBCI), to examine their files on unsolved murders and the missing women. The agents from the FBI’s Behavioural Analysis Unit specialise in profiling serial killers and rapists.

Do they never listen to what they are saying ?
If it is/was God’s plan to ‘take’ MM, why would the prayers of assorted deluded people cause Him to change His mind ?
Supposing she is found in the hands of a dreadful pervert, will they then thank the Lord for his mercy?
If here mortal remains are discovered, will they consider their prayers have been answered, in that she has been ‘returned’ ?
I find these people very dangerous. Their lack of contact with reality is worrying.

If leaving your children at home unsupervised is fraught with difficulty, can we ever risk leaving them asleep with the monitor on in a foreign hotel? The memory of Madeleine McCann will remain with parents of young children for decades, says Rhodes.
“People are much more nervous on holiday now - but in Britain we value our time away from our babies, so we live with monitors. It is highly unlikely that anyone would break into a hotel room, and if your child is a light sleeper and you can get back to her in minutes you might take that risk,” she says. “But if you don’t take her, you may spend all of dinner worrying.”
If you really want to spend an evening away from your children without having shipped them out to grandparents or friends, it is worth recalling the sobering experience of the McGuckin family.
