9Marks wants to help local churches re-establish their biblical bearings and re-think their
ministry methods. We exist to help local church pastors and leaders in the discovery and
application of the biblical priorities that cultivate health and holiness in the local church.
Mark Dever, Author and Speaker serves as the senior pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist
Church in Washington, DC. A Duke graduate, Dr. Dever holds a M.Div. from Gordon-
Conwell Theological Seminary, a Th.M. from The Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, and a Ph.D. in Ecclesiastical History from Cambridge University. He is the
president of 9Marks and has taught at a number of seminaries.
IX Marks released their newest e-newsletter (Jan/Feb ‘08) focusing on corporate
prayer. I thought I’d pass it along as I think corporate prayer is something quickly
leaving contemporary liturgy in corporate worship services and worthy of good
discussion.
