PRAYER (traditional language)
Teach thy divided church, O God, so to follow the example of thy servant Isabel Florence Hapgood that we might look upon one another with a holy envy, to honor whatever is good and right in our separate traditions, and to continually seek the unity that thou desirest for all thy people. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
who didst pray that his church might be one. Amen.
