Join us in weekly prayers for the vulnerable and our witness as we lift up those facing challenges, fears, and threats. As one church united in prayer, we name reality, create space for grief, and embrace hope. These prayers ground us in faith and guide our actions—whether advocating for justice, supporting our communities, or seeking peace. This week, we pray for those impacted by immigration policies, persecuted for their beliefs, and affected by global conflicts. Stay connected with the Episcopal Public Policy Network for resources and action alerts.
These prayers are not a replacement for action; they are meant to offer space for grounding and discernment as we seek to bear one another’s burdens in the love and way of Christ.
In the Anglican Communion: The Church of England
