Wellington Cathedral 2008
Most holy God we pray for the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul, a sacred space for Diocese, City and Nation. Inspire many to join us in our journey of faith, celebrating worship, generous in welcome and disciplined in study, until together, we serve our neighbour and praise your name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Sesquicentenary Prayer: Diocese of Wellington
The Diocese of Wellington celebrates 150 years of mission and ministry in 2008.
Holy and Eternal God:
It is time to thank you as the Diocese of Wellington celebrates one hundred and fifty years.
It is time to thank you for her saints and servants whose faith, example and legacy are entwined with your everlasting strands of grace.
It is time to be pilgrims who honour the places where those who have journeyed before us wove their ministry of prayer and care, building up the community of faith to which we belong.
It is time to renew our commitment as disciples of Christ, whose cloak of love protects and nurtures us on our journey. Amen.
Celtic Rune
I saw a stranger yesterday; I put food in the eating place, drink in the drinking place, music in the listening place; and in the sacred name of the Triune God he blessed myself and my house, my cattle and my dear ones, and the lark said in her song: Oft, Oft, Oft, goes Christ in the stranger's guise.
