The Canadian Council of Churches has offered this prayerful reflection on the protests that we have been witnessing in recent weeks.
“When we are weary, longing for renewed human connections, impatient to return to the way things used to be, struggling with what is becoming, let us not allow fear or suspicion to erode our hearts, hearths, and communities, pulling us into isolation and distrust.”
Protests have happened in several communities in our diocese, including in Fort Erie on the weekend. “When we are at the end of our rope, Lord draw us into the Spirit’s tether,” offers Bishop Susan Bell who invites our prayers for peace and harmony.
