Goddess of love, we want to worship-- not as outsiders waiting for crumbs, but as your children-- part of your body. We long to praise you-- part of your church. Goddess of joy, your name is wondrous, your thoughts are holy-- deeper than ours. Yours is one body, many the members. Goddess, embrace us, make your church one. Goddess of peace, we give you honor when we harm no one, seeking the good. Who is an outcast? Who will decide this? All those excluded are welcome here. Goddess of hope, we want to worship, not with dull sameness, but in new ways, till all your people feel their inclusion, hear their name spoken-- one of your own.
