Gentle God:
We have traveled through many waters to reach this place, but share one baptism;
We arrive from different backgrounds and traditions, yet share one faith;
We are, each of us, unique and precious to God, and are members of one Body;
We have different dreams and doubts, yet our hearts beat with one hope;
We are graced with different gifts, so we may offer them in service to one Lord.
God in Community, Holy in One, equip us for the work of love, justice, and mercy – both here and beyond.

– Thom Shuman’s Lectionary Liturgy
