Today, I had the honor of giving the opening prayer at my notoriously uptight town’s first pride event. I live in Simi Valley, home of the Rodney King verdict. I will probably get into my theology about how I feel the LGBT+ community in later posts.

Here is the prayer that I wrote:
Dear Holy One, we are all bonded as one. We know that you see us as one. We know that you love us as one. Help society recognize that you love all. Continue to pave these roads so that those roads traveled in the future are smoother. Everloving one, please guide us. Your Word says that you are love and where there is love there can only be peace. We thank you for the love that you have brought us today. We thank you for the love that you will bring us tomorrow. Amen.
