O God: Thank you for differently gifting your church. Not one above another but siblings kneeling at the foot of the cross together. Each has ears to hear. Each has history. Each has faith. Just as Paul's disciple James was accountable to his teacher, so also Peter's disciples Paul and Barnabas gave answer. Bring us into relationship once again so that orthodoxy and orthopraxy may free YOUR CHURCH for new mission. O God. help us to conduct ourselves honorably and uprightly as we walk together in your name, Jesus. Amen.
