A message from our Associate, the Rt. Rev. Mark Edington, Bishop of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe, from the American Cathedral in Paris, as the Russian invasion of the Ukraine continues:
God of timelessness,
From chaos and
disorder
you brought forth the
beauty of creation;
From the chaos of war
and violence
Bring forth the beauty
of peace.
God of compassion
You saw the humanity of
the outcast and the stranger;
Help us to see the evils
of our hatreds and suspicions
and to turn them into
the embrace of your Beloved Community.
God of peace,
Through your love on the
cross
You overcame the power
of violence and death;
Turn us away from the
love of power
That we may transform a
warring world
through the power of
your love. Amen.
