Black Clergy Network Prayer for the Rev. Michael Blair
The Black Clergy Network in The United Church of Canada has offered a prayer of support for the Rev. Michael Blair as he begins his new role as the General Secretary, General Council. In part, the prayer reads:
“It is with joy and hopeful anticipation that we, members of the Black Clergy Network of The United Church of Canada, celebrate and welcome you as the new General Secretary, General Council of The United Church of Canada.
As you move into this ministry, we bring prayers of gratitude and of hope. If we could, we would encircle you, lay on hands and pray a blessing. Even though we cannot do this in person, in the Spirit may you know our presence right there with you."
Read the full prayer.
