EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Seven, Number Three March/April 1998 A PRAYER OF THE PEOPLE O God of many names, lover of all peoples, we pray: For the hungry and the overfed -    May we have enough. For the mourners and the mockers -    May we laugh together. For the victims and the oppressors -    May we share power wisely. For the peacemakers and the warmongers -    May clear truth and stern love lead us to harmony. For the silenced and the propagandists -    May we seek our own words in truth. For the unemployed and the overworked -    May our impress on the earth be kindly and creative. For the troubled and the sleek -    May we live together as wounded healers. For the homeless and the cosseted -    May our homes be simple, warm and welcoming. For the vibrant and the dying -    May we all die to live.
