Book Description

Excerpt from The Pan-Anglican Congress, 1908: Special Report of Proceedings, Etc Let us pray for the strengthening of our belief in God that we may have ears to hear His voice still speaking to us; that we may perceive His Spirit's work in the higher aspirations of all races and that we may fearlessly accept all truth which by His providence is revealed to us. Let us pray for a fuller understanding of our duty towards our neighbour to-day that we may help to purify our civilization and make it truly Christian and that we may in our action towards our fellow-men bear faithful witness to Christ. Let us pray that God will inspire men and women to devote themselves to the various tasks of the Christian ministry and that He will guide His Church in dealing with the questions of the choice, training, and support of those who are willing thus to consecrate their lives to His service. Let us pray for wisdom in the {presentation of the Gospel to non Christian peoples and specially that guidance may be given to those who are confronted with the problem of racial antagonism so that they may rightly apply the apostolic lesson Ye are all one man in Christ Jesus. Let us pray for a larger recognition of our responsibility and for more power to fulfil it and specially that the Church may be able to make due provision for the pioneers of our race, that for their own sake and for the sake of the races with whom they mingle they may be saved from falling away from God. Let us pray for wisdom and charity in dealing with the problems Of religious education; and, above all, for a deepened sense of the duty of parents and of the sacredness of the home. Lastly, let us pray for the Anglican Communion in all parts of the world that we may understand the mission which God has entrusted to us, and our duty to those who are separated from us that we may penitently recognize our failings and humbly go forward in unity and love to the fulfilment of our common work.
