Prayer for the Environmental Commission
of the Diocese of Oregon

O Holy God, you who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns the darkness into light,
who summons the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the earth;
we gather in your presence to consider the work you have given us;

To inspire the people of this Diocese to recognize your hand in all of Creation;
To educate our people about how to be good stewards of the land, air, and water;
To model ministry that incorporates protection, preservation, and sustainable use of your
Creation;

Hear our anxiety about the increasing damage to the earth¹s systems, and our grief over
lost habitats and species;

We seek your guidance as we consider the issues and this work, that we might be
effective and wise in all that we do, delighting in and honoring one another¹s skills and
gifts, as we seek justice and well-being for all, to the Honor and Glory of your Name.
  Amen
