There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3.28)

God of justice,
who rejoice in your creation
and the beauty of our diversity,
give us a passion to live well,
with respect for all,
with delight in difference,
with commitment to inclusion,
and with hope for our future
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
