Join Us in Praying for Revival
PRAYER FOR THE REVIVAL
OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Wondrous God, who in love set the cosmos ablaze; refine, refresh, and revive your whole Church. By the power of your Holy Spirit, enliven the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement as we gather this summer in Louisville to worship, take counsel, and grow in love for you, one another, and your whole creation. In all that we say and do, help us to seek and embody the loving, liberating, and life-giving way of Jesus, so that the world might know the all-embracing power of his love; for it is in his name we pray, now and always. Amen.
