O God, star kindler
kindle of flame of love within us
to light our path in days of darkness.
O God, sun warmer,
warm us with your love
to melt the frozen hand of guilt.
O God, moon burnisher,
burnish the shield of faith
that we may seek justice
and follow the ways of peace.

I would appreciate your prayers.
Prayers in abundance, dear one.
Little late but prayers on the way, Songbird, as you and they discern. I am impressed by your openness and by what a gift a good interim can be. (The TEC church I am now worshipping at has had a very hard couple years because this diocese doesn't require them. They brought in a new rector to immediately succeed someone who had been there *twenty-one years* and needless to say he crashed and burned. Led to some good things including increased lay responsbility and ownership of mission but not the ideal way to do that....
