> In light of current events in Washington, our Moderator Richard Bott offers the following prayer.
> 
> Prayer for Our US Neighbours
> 
> As we follow our newsfeeds,
> and observe with horror
> what is happening in the capital of the United States of America,
> we call on you, Creator of All Love.
> We painfully remember peaceful protests of tangible and documented injustices,
> led by Black and Indigenous peoples
> who were sadly met with undue hostility and violence,
> and characterized as rioters,
> in contrast to how the violent clashes incited by Trump supporters
> on baseless claims is being responded to
> and reported on.
> We pray for those who are most acutely experiencing the terror caused by these actions,
> and those who deeply understand the hatred and racism that such acts fuel.
> We call on you, Prince of Peace,
> and pray for your wisdom, your guidance, and your love,
> that those who are rioting would leave Washington,
> so that elected decision-makers can go back
> to their chambers,
> to the lawful work that they have been given
> by the people of the United States.
> We pray, with all that we are,
> loving God.
> Amen.
