Prayers and Elevenses
Prayers and readings on these occasions are drawn from different religious and secular traditions into a prepared programme with music but everyone is invited to bring along an extra piece to share.
On Friday morning January 29th eight friends met together for prayers and a chat over refreshments by the fire. The words, on this occasion, were from Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian and Hindu faiths on the topic of Service to Others.
What soon becomes apparent when reading from different faiths is the common thread that runs through them all.
Here are some very short extracts from the recent Prayers and Elevenses.
Care for the stranger as for one of your own….. . (Baha’i scripture)
Just as a mother with her life protects her child, her only child, let all-embracing thoughts for all that lives be yours. (Buddhist scripture)
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another….. (Christian scripture)
Renouncing all, averse to fault-finding, Compassionate toward all beings………
(Hindu scripture)
