                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We pray, O almighty God, that we will be faithful to that which marks 
our purpose and reason for living, that we will be steadfast in our 
allegiances and in our vision, that we will be worthy of the high 
calling that is ours. Yet, O gracious God, may we not only be devoted 
to our mission, but may we also listen to others, to hear their voices, 
to sense their purpose, to discern their motivations so that together 
we will testify to the good purposes of our Nation and bear witness to 
our unity as Your people. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
