Prayers for Bishop Search
The Search Committee recommends the following prayers for regular use in weekly parish liturgies throughout the duration of the search process.
Almighty God, giver of every good gift, we pray that your grace and mercy be with all of us and especially with those who will help select the 10th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia. Open our eyes and hearts to understand your will for this Diocese and enable us to make decisions pleasing to you. All this we ask through Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen .
-Danny Hill, Sr. Warden, All Saints Tybee, adapted from a search process from another diocese
Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a bishop for this Diocese, that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
