Woe to those who make iniquitous decrees, who write oppressive statutes, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, to make widows their spoil and to plunder orphans!
Isaiah 10:1-2

We follow a God who hates tyranny; who continually leads people in exodus journeys in defiance of authoritarianism. Lift up a vision of who we can be, and are becoming.

Lord God, may we defy authoritarianism in all its forms. May we protect the needy, widows, and orphans. Help us to lead each other out of tyranny and speak without fear in the face of tyrants.
