So much for weekly blogging... I will post life/work/ministry updates sometime in the coming weeks, but for now I just wanted to share a prayer I am working on music for, as delegates from around the world meet in Tampa, Florida, to decide matters of great importance regarding the structure, policies, practices, and official teachings of The United Methodist Church. Others are doing excellent work reporting and reflecting on the specifics of those decisions; I am following along as time allows, and holding all involved in prayer.
Prayer for #GC2012
May our conversations be holy
May every vote be bathed in prayer
May we listen well to those who are on the margins
May we always speak with care
May we hear the voices of all God's children
May we always offer grace
May we see the image of Christ in one another
When we stand face to face
May the Holy Spirit lead us forward
through this valley of tears
May God's will be done on earth as in heaven
until we find healing and peace.
