to make no peace with oppression
no appeasement to the easy way
no accommodation for evil
no matter where it lives
A calling to our nation
and to our congregation
for the love of Christ
the will of God
the reconciliation with our neighbors
to begin with equality, with love
no peace with those who oppress

Unison Prayer
“Eternal God, who created us in your own image.
Enable us to fearlessly contend against evil and to
make no peace with oppression.
May we use our freedom with reverence, and
for the establishment of justice to the glory of
your holy name; through Jesus Christ our Savior.”
