Salisbury Cathedral

 
We were told that on Saturday the 15th a service was held to Pray for America at the Salisbury Cathedral and about 2,000 people attended.

  

This photo shows the area set aside in the Salisbury Cathedral
with candles for worshipers to light and a condolence book for America.
Below is the text of a prayer that was on the table.

  
Salisbury Cathedral
We hold before God the people of the United States, those whose lives are in any way affected by the acts of terrorism on Tuesday. We pray for those who have died, those who mourn and those who are wounded or afraid. We pray for the emergency services and those who seek to serve the injured. We hold before God all those who have to make difficult political decisions.

God of love, whose compassion never fails, we bring before you all those who need our prayers. Comfort those who are in sorrow, strengthen those who work in the service of others and give all your people the resolve to work for peace in your world.

O God of many names,
Love of all people
We pray for peace
In our hearts and homes,
In our nations and our world;
The peace of your will,
The peace of our need.

King of kings, and Lord of lords,
We pray today for our leaders and rulers,
May they be quiet in spirit, clear in judgement,
Able to understand the complexity of issues they face.
Grant them patience, grant them courage,
Grant them foresight and faith,
In their anxieties be their security,
In their opportunities be their inspiration,
By their plans and actions may thy kingdom come. Amen
