On International Women's Day, we lift up those who, according to the Chinese proverb, hold up half the sky. We confess that we have not been vocal enough against the oppression of women, that we have at times unfairly benefited from systems and structures that have oppressed or marginalized or denigrated (other) women and girls. Forgive us, Lord, and may your Spirit be the guiding and strengthening source of our continual work to establish your kingdom on earth, where all women and girls will be seen and treated as equals with men and boys. In Jesus' name, amen.
