Here’s
a congregational affirmation for World Food Day (October 16). It is part of a
longer worship service I put together for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. (See
below for link. )
We dare to dream
We
dare to dream of a world
in
which hunger is unknown:
where
scarcity is an illusion,
and
everyone has a place at the table.
We
dare to dream of a world
in
which generosity is the norm:
where
greed finds no foothold,
and
there is more than enough for all.
We
dare to dream of a world
in
which love rules:
where
compassion is the first response,
and
there is no place for bigotry.
We
dare to dream.
We
dare to pray.
We
dare to believe.
