The power of prayer and working together for racial justice...

To mark the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, Churches Together in England (CTE) is sharing daily prayers on racial justice from our Member Churches. Today we pray together…

"We are all the poorer for the crushing of one man, since the dimming of the Light anywhere darkens us all."

A reflection from the Book of Discipline, Quaker Faith and Practice, offered in ministry by British Quaker Michael Sorensen in 1986, shared on this day of prayer for racial justice by Elaine Green, Clerk, Quaker Committee for Christian & Interfaith Relations.

Prayers for racial justice

To mark the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, Churches Together in England (CTE) is sharing daily prayers on racial justice from their Member Churches. Today we pray together…

Oh Lord, let your light shine in people’s hearts that the false philosophy that one nation is superior than the other becomes disqualified, Lord, help us to bend our knees, to kneel and bow before The King of Glory, and to pray that the love of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will melt people’s hearts and disperse hatred and prejudice, and impress upon them the truth that ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATED EQUAL without exception!
— Archbishop Costakis Evangelou, International President, Ixthus Church Council
