Lord,
We pray that the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina will walk worthy of the calling it has received. May they be humble, gentle, and patient, bearing with one another in love and making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, reflecting one body, one Spirit, and one hope in Jesus Christ.
Christ descended into the lower parts of the earth before ascending far above all heavens, that He might fill all things. As the diocese walks through this abyss of false delusions created by rejection of truth, may it share in Christ’s victory, enduring suffering, renouncing all self-assertion, speaking the truth in love, and thereby grow into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Amen.
Ephesians 4:1-16, 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11
