A Prayer to Heal the Nation

· · Leave a Comment

Faith in Public Life, the Skinner Leadership Institute, and Values Partnership will offer a prayer for the nation this evening, November 9, from 7 to 7:40 p.m.

As the Rev. Jennifer Butler of Faith in Public Life wrote:

A contentious election has ended in trauma and pain for so many of us. We cannot conquer this moment alone. We must gather together to pray, mourn, comfort and protect each other from the seeds of bigotry and discord that have been sown. By standing and praying together, we can forge a future that values people of every race, color, creed, religion, gender, orientation and social standing.
