Please
pray for our Bishop, Bishop-elect and our deputies...
Almighty and everliving
God, source of all wisdom and understanding, be present with those who take
counsel at the 77th General Convention of the Episcopal Church, for
the renewal and mission of your Church. Teach us in all things to seek first your
honor and glory. Guide us to perceive what is right, and grant us both the
courage to pursue it and the grace to accomplish it; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
