                              Dear Chautauquans,

                              As we focus greater amounts of time and energy these days on caring for self and others, I write with a message and resource that I hope will serve as spirit fruit.  

                              For you my dear friends and colleagues, I offer An Interfaith Prayer in a Time of Pandemic as a reflection that all Chautauquans are invited to use as you wash your hands; as you wait for food delivery; as you spend quiet time alone; or as you yearn for quiet time among your beloved children who are home from school.  

                              We hope you'll spend those moments joining other Chautauquans in recalling and giving thanks for the many blessings we enjoy as members of our unique community. Place this prayer card near your kitchen sink, or inside the frame of your bathroom mirror. Use it to 1) make sure you’re washing your hands long enough to do some good, and 2) to take a moment and remember Chautauqua and one another in your prayers. 
                       
                                
                       
                              In the coming weeks we will be asking some of our 2020 chaplains and Interfaith Lecture Series presenters to write an Interfaith Prayer of the Week for distribution to you on Mondays. We are asking these preachers and lecturers to write a brief prayer from their own tradition, praying the way prayers are said in their faith tradition, as a reminder to each of us that though we use different names for God, worship with different words, and express our faith in multiple ways, we are drawn together by our common humanity, especially in these difficult times. We will be sending these Interfaith Prayers of the Week to you each Monday via email, for as long as we are all hunkering down and working to stop the spread of this virus.

                              We send this with our best wishes for your health and well-being in these anxious times.
