From The Center for Action and Contemplation: Today we mourn with Dallas, Falcon Heights, and Baton Rouge. Every life lost is a life created in the image of God and deeply loved by our Creator.

We pray for the safety of every police officer who seeks to serve and protect our communities. We pray for justice for any person who has ever been hurt or harmed unfairly by those who were meant to serve and protect.

And we pray for peace so that no man, woman or child, regardless of skin color or whether or not they wear a badge, will ever have to live in fear.
