Churches Together in England joined on 25 May 2021 for #CandleOfJustice: a moment of action – commemorating the first anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. We are encouraged to continue throughout this week, and in the times to come, to pray and work together for racial justice.
“O God, the creator of the human race, we thank you for the wonder of our being and for creating us in your image and likeness. Open our hearts to give unconditional positive regard to all human beings, seeing each other as having the same needs, and build a world where freedom, justice, love, truth, unity, and peace prevail. Let no negative perception inform our judgement of other people. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.”
“On 25th May, we joined our friends from @ChurchesEngland, on the anniversary of George Floyd's murder, to light a #candleofjustice and pray that God's justice would be seen and for hearts to be changed by His love,” says the Free Churches Group.
