flockwoodThe scriptures, it is said, contain “all things necessary to salvation.” They also contain lamentations and appeals for divine help. But they don’t contain an Unemployment Prayer.
Fortunately, thoughtful Anglicans have been busy drafting one.
The Church of England, on its website today, unveiled a new “Prayer on Being Made Redundant.”
The prayer begins:
“‘Redundant’ – the word says it all -
‘useless,
unnecessary,
without purpose,
surplus to requirements.’”
But it closes on a more hopeful note. Also released today, a new “Prayer for those remaining in the workforce.”

We Anglicans are nothing if not inclusive in our prayers; our standard travel prayer now includes those “travelling through outer space,” as well as those traveling by more earthbound methods.
