                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Katrina Solter, St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  God of all love and understanding, You called Your prophets through a 
flame in the desert, in the mouth of a cave, and on the wings of a 
descending dove, offering Your universal love in exchange for peace 
between brothers and sisters, for service above self, and for the 
protection of the Earth.
  Help us rekindle our own call to serve. Renew in our hearts the faith 
to make a difference for others. Guide us to consensus, compassion, and 
communion.
  Open our hearts to remember the suffering of the world, especially 
the most vulnerable, and to see all people as children of God. We thank 
You for this beloved country, the United States of America.
  In the name of peace, of justice, and of our loving God.
  Amen.
