Prayers following unrest and violence in the United Kingdom

At a time in our country when many communities are afraid, fearing unrest and violence, we pray that God’s peace would reign this weekend. We pray that God will comfort all those who have been affected by the events of recent days, strengthen all those working to keep communities safe, and protect all people, in every community, with his loving care.

To help us with this, the Church of England’s Racial Justice Unit have shared a set of prayers that are designed for use either in churches or individually (including a variation on St Francis of Assisi’s prayer of peace). Use the button below to view these.
