The Summer Issue of the Maryland Church News is now available online

O Lord our God, look with favor upon your pilgrim people in the Diocese of Maryland. Help our bishops, priests, deacons and lay ministers lead lives worthy of the calling to which we have been called, with all humility, gentleness and patience. May our life together be infused by the grace of truth and the spirit of reconciliation; in times of celebration may we freely rejoice, and in times of distress may we listen to and forgive one another in love, always eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Open our hearts to receive the Living Christ in our midst; may we never tire to seek him in prayer and action and in works of mercy and justice throughout the world. This we pray in the name of Jesus our Savior, Amen. -- Bishop Eugene Taylor Sutton, a prayer for the diocese, 2008
