Greetings!,
As Episcopal seminarians begin their fall semesters, please join us in prayer for all future ordained leaders of our church.
Page 256 in The Book of Common Prayer offers this Contemporary Collect:
O God, you led your holy apostles to ordain ministers in every place: Grant that your Church, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, may choose suitable persons for the ministry of Word and Sacrament, and may uphold them in their work for the extension of your kingdom; through him who is the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Faithfully,
Tom Moore
Executive Director
SIM
