Reflection

“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal.”
~ Seneca Falls Convention, July 19, 1848

Prayer

Creator God,

On this day in 1848 the Seneca Falls Convention, a women’s rights convention, began. As we continue to struggle to bring to birth a nation and world committed to the inherent dignity of all, fill us with your Holy Spirit that we might unite our voices and lives with others in the effort to build a more equitable, just, and humane society. We pray in the name of the God who is the source of all life. Amen.
