Bishop John T. W. Harmon of the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas for the invocation at the Little Rock State of the City Address. (18:55)
Oh, how good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters, community leaders, and citizens gather together in unity. Let us pray. All mighty God, you have given us this city as a heritage. We pray that we will prove ourselves of people mindful of the good works that is before us. Bless our city with honorable industries, sound learning, and pure manners. Protect us from violence, discord, and confusion. Save us from pride and arrogance. Keep us from every evil. Help us to defend our liberties and fashion us into one united people. In ours, we pray with the spirit of wisdom. And bless our mayor and all who are entrusted with authority of government. That there may be justice and peace among us. Keep Little Rock under your care. This we pray in your holy name. Amen.
From The Living Church publication, Lauren Anderson-Cripps recounts the scaled-down investiture service for Sean Rowe, the Episcopal Church’s 28th Presiding Bishop held in New York on November 2. Further reporting in the news section by Mark Michael outlines Rowe’s plans for reshaping the church’s mission strategy and realigning the church center staff, as outlined at Executive Council’s fall meetings.
