Presentation Transcript

  1. Lord of all,We forget sometimes that your love involves responsibilityas well as privilege;a duty not just to you but to the whole of your creation,to nurture and protect rather than simply exploit it.

  2. Forgive us our part in a society that has too often lived for todaywith no thought of tomorrow.Forgive us our unquestioning acceptance of an economic systemthat plunders this worlds resourceswith little regard as to the consequences.

  3. Help us to live less wastefullyand with more thought for those who will come after us.

  4. Challenge the hearts and minds of people everywhere,that both they and we may understand more fully the wonder and the fragility of this planet you have given us,and so honour our calling to be faithful stewards of it all.In Christ’s name, Amen (Nick Fawcett, Selected Prayers for Public Worship, 2003)
