A Prayer for Reconciliation

Where there is separation,

there is pain.

And where there is pain, there is story.

And where there is story,

there is understanding

and misunderstanding,

listening

and not listening.

May we --

separated people, estranged strangers, 

unfriended families, divided community 

-- turn toward each other, 

and turn toward our stories,

with understanding

and listening,

with argument and acceptance,

with challenge, change

and consolation.

Because if God is to be found,

God will be found in the space

between.

Amen
