One highlight of the Ecumenical Service was "The Coventry Litany of Reconciliation", which is prayed every weekday in Coventry Cathedral (GB), where the Peace Run had visited in 2018 (https://www.peacerun.org/gb/news/2018/0913/3239/) and Gunhild Stempel met the Peace Run and was inspired to invite the team to Waidhaus church.

The Coventry prayer was followed by a blessing of the ecumenical community of IONA, Scotland.

THE COVENTRY LITANY OF RECONCILIATION:

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

The hatred which divides nation from nation, race from race, class from class, FATHER FORGIVE

The covetous desires of people and nations to possess what is not their own, FATHER FORGIVE

The greed which exploits the work of human hands and lays waste the earth, FATHER FORGIVE

Our envy of the welfare and happiness of others, FATHER FORGIVE

Our indifference to the plight of the imprisoned, the homeless, the refugee, FATHER FORGIVE

The lust which dishonours the bodies of men, women and children, FATHER FORGIVE

The pride which leads us to trust in ourselves and not in God, FATHER FORGIVE

Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
