                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Cara Spaccarelli, Christ Church, Washington, D.C., offered 
the following prayer:
  God of all nations, You have called all people to lives of 
righteousness and justice.
  Bless now those who gather in this place. To those who lead here, 
grant the patience of cooperation. To those who debate here, grant 
clarity of thought. To those who decide here, grant the courage for 
truth.
  Keep ever before us the broken places of our life together, that we 
may find ways to speak hope into one another's lives. Set our hearts to 
beat in rhythm with Yours, and knit us together with all people of 
goodwill, both in this place and beyond, in order that Your will may be 
done.
  Amen.
