United Nations pledge for peace
"I pledge in my daily life, in my family, my school, my community & my country to:
1. Respect all life - I pledge to respect people that are different, and treat people and animals with kindness and fairness.
2. Reject violence - I pledge to find peaceful ways to work out my problems without using violent actions or words.
3. Share with others - I pledge to share my time to help out in my community to make life better for others.
4. Listen to understand. I pledge to allow others to express their point of view; to find win-win solutions to problems so that both sides can win; and 'agreeing to disagree' if we can't come to an agreement.
5. Preserve the planet - I pledge to practice good environmental habits like recycling and helping to protect the earth and its habitats.
6. Rediscover community - I pledge to do my best to help my family, friends and community to get along. www.peacekids.net

Sesquicentennial Prayer (from 2007)
Almighty and loving God, you have blessed us with the gift of this your Diocese of Huron. We celebrate the way in which your Holy Spirit moved your clergy and people to elect your servant Benjamin Cronyn to Episcopal ministry in 1857.
We pray that you will accept the offering of our praise and thanksgiving for the lives of those whose faithful service has been part of the life of this Diocese.
We dedicate ourselves to the ministry of Christian witness, which you have called us to live out in our own day and age. May the Light of your Spirit shine in our lives, enabling us to fill your church with vigour and excitement, while ever walking in the Anglican way of moderation, tolerance and conciliation. Guide us in the years ahead, as in years past, so that all that we say and do may bring honour to your name, through Jesus Christ who is our Light and Life.
Amen
