"All the nations you have made shall come and bow down before you, O LORD, and shall glorify your name." Psalm 86:9

Holy God, when Jesus sent his disciples out to "make disciples of all nations...beginning in Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth," he was commanding us to be one group of disciples, your children. But American Christians are divided into Catholics and Protestants, Orthodox and Conventions, Coptics and Conventions. All around the world your baptized children fight over LGTBQ rights, abortion, biblical interpretation, politics, women's rights... Forgive us Lord for splintering over our own agendas in your name. Help us hear your clarion call to love creatively, compassionately, cooperatively, that your will might be done everywhere. In the name of Jesus, in whose body we all belong. Amen
