Prayer

Loving God,

We give thanks for the flow of human history, for the events which

have shaped us and our societies.

We give thanks for all our sisters and brothers who have questioned that history and struggled for a more equal world.

For those who unearth the stories of the oppressed, the nameless, the unrecorded.

(Hear us when we whisper some names.) We give thanks and ask for justice.

Amen

Sent by the World YWCA in celebration of the WCC’s 70th anniversary
