Emmanuel Episcopal (Pittsburgh)

ELECTION PRAYER This is a beautiful prayer from Chris Yaw, head of ChurchNext - a convenient online learning environment from Episcopal experts on relevant Christian topics: ChurchNextwww.churchnext.tv "And as we head into the election, let us pray:... FOR FAIR AND PEACEFUL ELECTIONS Almighty God, whose will for us is harmony and justice, give us the gift of fair and peaceful elections. Keep our poll workers safe, alert, and attentive; Bring serenity to every polling place and voting line; Grant our clerks and government officials clarity and accuracy in counting ballots; Give us patience as races and results are determined; And help every voter realize the gift of democracy, the privilege of voting, and our responsibility in determining our destiny, that we may truly be one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. Amen." Grace and Peace, Chris+

For an Election. BCP 24 Almighty God, to Whom we must account for all our powers and privillages: Guide the people of the United States in the election of a President, officials and representatives; that by faithful administration and wise laws, the rights of all may be protected and our nation be enabled to fulfill Your purposes; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Just thought this was too funny! Just had to share.

Eracism... Justice will not be achieved until all forms of racism are erased. Infogram credit @ wastefreemarie

Unlearning and relearning continued... If you have a hard time recognizing your privilege, focus on what you don’t have to go through. @wastefreemarie

Us white people will make mistakes even as we try to grow in allyship and being anti racist but that shouldn’t scare us away from participating in justice work... and conversations about racism. We must embrace mistakes, take ownership when we cause harm and be committed to growth. Credit @creativityler See more

Amen. Good work, John.
