"From our ancestors, and from preceding generations, Lord, we have knowledge of you. They provided the background information about your mercy and goodness. Then, as we grew, we used our own energy adn effort to learn to know you better. Now we look to future generations who will use our collective religious experience to keep the chain unbroken. we want your goodness and merciful deeds to be heard and known forever and ever. Help us to be faithful storytellers, griots, narrators, and teachers, Lord. Amen." --Moravian Daily Texts, 1995
