Verse of the day

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
Galatians 5:13 (NIV)

Voice of the day

The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class - it is the cause of humankind, the very birthright of humanity.

Anna Julia Cooper, “A Voice from the South” (1892)

Prayer of the day

God, in your Word you have given us a vision of that holy city to which the nations of the world bring their glory. Enable us to eliminate poverty, prejudice, and oppression, that peace may prevail with righteousness, and justice with order, and that people from different cultures and with differing talents may find with one another the fulfillment of their humanity.
Adapted from the Book of Common Prayer
