From The Facebook group "Praying For Lambeth"
Pray without ceasing as we begin:
Loving God, some of our bishops have been involved in legal actions over issues our Church struggles with. Some have endured personal attack, discouragement, bewilderment. Some have found themselves in the midst of civil unrest and war. Some have experienced rejection and persecution. Many are going to Lambeth feeling fragile, fearful, anxious, wounded. Help them see themselves as You see them. Help us see them as You see them. May we speak lovingly and gently about all bishops, even those whose views differ from our own. May they do likewise about one another. May grace and holiness permeate our Church so that the world will see us as You call us to be--loving one another in thought and action. All this we ask through your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
The Rev. June Maffin
