Prayers of Confession

(to a God of diversity)

For times when we have limited your love to people and places with which we are comfortable:
Forgive us Lord

For times when we have ignored your call to love our neighbour – whoever they are:
Forgive us Lord

For times when we have stopped at the stereotype and failed to look deeper and see your face:
Forgive us Lord

For times when we have failed to value the contribution each person can bring to our communities:
Forgive us Lord
