Oh lord, we thank you for the task that you have given us of
advancing the great call of our secular creed that all men are created equal.
This day we look back to the work of the last-born of the founding fathers, Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. This week we look ahead to the peaceful transition
of power. This ritual is one of the glories of our republic. We humbly ask for
your support and protection of the outgoing president. We fervently hope for
your guidance of the new holder of that great office.
We all have a part to
play in building up the work of our republic, equally as citizens and as
Christians. And in this work we know, as Dr. King reminded us, that the moral
arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
