We prayed that God would
enable us
to make no peace with
oppression
no appeasement to the easy
way
for the way of the world
for our comfort, our past
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 for our
lives
the reconciliation with our
neighbors
to begin with equality, with
love
no peace with those who
oppress

No
Peace with Oppression
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.”
