A Word from Bishop Matt Gunter
We are approaching the end of a contentious presidential election in a time when the country remains deeply divided and polarized. It is understandable that many of us feel anxious. Christians are to be people of prayer in all times, but particularly in times of heightened anxiety. So, I am calling on the members of the Diocese of Wisconsin to pray together in the days leading up to the election.
Previously, I encouraged you to practice praying for the two candidates for president using the Jesus Payer. Now I want to encourage you to join with Episcopalians around the country in praying a “novena” provided by Forward Movement. A novena is an ancient tradition of nine days of devotional prayers, often with a specific intention. In this case, we pray for discernment in voting and for the well-being of our nation. You can find the prayers and further explanation below.
Under the Mercy,
