Hello –
Here are three things to strengthen your soul through the election:
1. A Prayer
Almighty God, to whom we must account for all our peers and privileges: Guide the people of the United States in the election of officials and representatives; that, by faithful administration and wise laws, the rights of all may be protected and our nation be enabled to fulfill your purposes; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen (BCP p.822)
2. Prayer
Join me at 5pm this Wednesday at Nativity for a time of silent prayer followed by the Compline service of the Book of Common Prayer. Nativity is at 333 Ellen Drive, just off the corner of Lucas Valley Road and Las Gallinas. They are deep partners in ministry with us at St. Paul’s.
3.A Movie
A Case for Love is a powerfully heartening documentary that tells many stories of ordinary Americans expressing extraordinary love. It includes commentary by Sen John Danford (R), Pete Buttegieg (D), Sam Waterston, Al Royer, John Meachem, former Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and other Episcopalians. It was directed by my good friend Brian Ide, who worshipped with us this past Sunday. It’s now available through several services. Here’s the website: https://acaseforlovemovie.com
Blessings,
Christopher
