A Prayer for Interfaith Relationships
Almighty God the earth is your and everything in it. We rejoice with all who affirm your sovereignty, ownership, and authority over the earth and its inhabitants. Through the symbol of the rainbow, you assure humanity of your grace, hope, and glory. We celebrate the rainbow’s colours as a visible sign of your enduring love and protection for humanity. United in different colours, creeds, ethnicities, languages, and faiths, we give thanks.
Almighty God, you have taught us to Love You and Love our Neighbours. You sent your Son, Jesus Christ. While living on this earth, he supported the poor, downtrodden, and those on the fringes of society. Jesus Christ healed the sick and dying. He restored those who were unjustly excluded from society. We celebrate our neighbourhood’s diversity of social, economic, and religious backgrounds.
Almighty God, we join different faiths in their desire to approach you O God. We share values of Peace, compassion, and gratitude. In this unity, we affirm our unwavering faith in Jesus and his teachings, even as others follow diverse paths to you. Sustain our relationships with people of different faiths, so we may celebrate our differences and work together for the common good.
Almighty God, you have established the Church to be your living presence of Love, Care, and Compassion in society. Enable us to foster understanding, respect, and collaboration with different faith traditions. Give us wisdom to share our beliefs with neighbours. Grant us grace to listen to those who wish to share their beliefs. Let the Church’s presence be a beacon of Hope and a place of hospitality to all visitors.
Almighty God you expect people not to pollute the which they live. We pray that all diverse spiritual tradition may focus together on shared stewardship and collective responsibility save the nature and heal the planet. We come with the spirit of repentance for environmental destruction and pray for those vulnerable communities impacted by climate change. Enable faith communities to focus on creating a sustainable and a just world for future generations, fostering compassion and reverence for all creation.
