Creator of all races and ethnicities,
help us see that a diverse community is the way
to deepen our lives and to know you more deeply.
Guide us to see that entering into a vital and just relationship
with others who are different from us
is the way to make ourselves whole.
Guard us from fear of the other,
from the fear that our own security is threatened
if we become truly willing to make a place at the table for all.
Open us to live out what we profess to believe:
