Confession: Come Again, Feet-Washer

Here is a prayer of confession for the divisions within the Christian community.  It was written by Bruce Prewer.

Prayer of Confession

God how selfish and competitive
     is this twenty first century!
And how divided and self-serving
     are the branches of the church!

May he whose name is Feet Washer,
     Son of Common Man,
     Wounded Healer,
     Jesus-Saviour,
     Son of True God,
come again with his unique glory
     to call, heal and gather
     his scattered flock
     into one harmonious outpouring
     of love and service.
For your love’s sake. Amen!
