LIVING CHRIST’S STORY – CONSULTATION PRAYER
Bishop Alison and Archdeacon Andy Broom write: 'Prayer will be vital to ensure that through listening to one another we discover God’s mind in all our deliberations and are kept in his will. Here is the prayer for the consultation.'
God our loving Father, you have called your Church into being in your love and strengthened us for your service. Guide and inspire us as we seek to re-shape our approach to mission and ministry in our diocese; that we may be a joyful Church of missionary disciples, one in heart and mind; for the sake of your kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
