Angels might not appear to us,
nor might we see lights or hear supernatural voices.
But if we are attuned to the suffering around us,
we can recognize God’s call.
That willingness to step in and help
is both a sign of leadership and an invitation from God:
God acting through ordinary people.
God bringing life amidst the suffering and
death that surround us.
God rising from the dead.

“We are an extremely small group in a global context. But we Anabaptist churches have a lot to share and a lot to contribute to other Christian groups and societies around the world.”

Worship Resource
For the Love of the Cosmos
For the Love of the Cosmos: Anabaptist Prayers for Care of Creation emerges from a deep conviction that prayer is more than words. It is personal but also communal. It is private but also political. Prayer must also be our protest, a way of loving the creation back to life.
In compiling this collection of prayers, MWC brings the voices around the world who can enrich our own prayers.
