It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

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.
