Holy One, in your great Spirit, the tapestry of our diverse hues comes together as the fullness of your expression. In you, we are different, and we are one. We sometimes forget our belonging in you. Our humanity fails us when we wrongfully “other” people with slanderous accusations and assumptions, forgetting that we are all kin, and that many among us are guests on these lands. As we strive to be anti-racist, help us to embody the kind of community that celebrates our diverse origins as an affirmation of your embodied Spirit in us. Amen.
