Set us free, O heavenly Father, from every bond of prejudice and fear: that, honoring the steadfast courage of thy servants Absalom Jones and Richard Allen, we may show forth in our lives the reconciling love and true freedom of the children of God, which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
“Above all things, let us instruct [our children] in the principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, whereby they may become wise unto salvation.” – Absalom Jones (1746-1818), First African American Priest #absalomjones https://t.co/dQuOR45Jps
