Recognizing Those that Labor among Us

Next Monday will be Labor Day in the US. Here's a Litany for the Affirmation of Work offered by the Ministry in Daily Life of the Episcopal Church.

This litany was adopted from a work developed by D.Min. students at Hartford Seminary in Anne Rowthorn's class "Ministry of the Laity for Clergy and Church Professionals." It was used in a statewide service for Those Who Labor in Our State, conducted by the Connecticut state chaplains. This adaptation was for an interfaith setting, Christians may wish to adapt it for a Christian setting or write their own.
