“God of goodness and love, you created all persons as your unique and beloved children. Help us as we seek to end racism which opposes your laws of goodness and love and diminishes your image in each person it touches. Use us to bring an end to this destructive scourge on global society as we repent of the racism that has tainted us throughout the history of our church. Empower us to confront and eliminate all forms of racism, racial inequity, colonialism, white privilege, and the lie of white supremacy, in every facet of our lives and in our society. As servants set free in Christ, we pray. Amen.”
