RACIAL JUSTICE |
| |
Introduction: |
WHAT IS RACIAL JUSTICE?
Racial Justice is a recognition that:
- Each human being is made in God's image
- Each human being is of equal value
- Each human being must be accorded equal rights
For Christians it is a recognition that 'we belong to one another'
There is only one race, the human race, and each of us is a member of it.

This week's prayer: |
Our heavenly father, you made us in your own image and likeness.
Help us to treat everyone with dignity and respect.
You sent your only Son to show us how to live.
Teach us to live like him, loving and caring for everyone.
Help us to remember that we are all members of the same human family, your family.
Help us to remember that we all experience grief, hunger, pain, joy and happiness in the same way whatever our beliefs, the colour of our skin.
Help us not to judge and be prejudiced but to be compassionate and kind.
Loving Father, in your mercy hear our prayer.
Amen
