"Pray every day for those with whom you disagree. Pray for the leadership of The Episcopal Church, for great blessing to be upon them. Pray for the witness of the Church to a watching world. This is a time when we might easily be tempted to act in the flesh rather than in the Spirit. Our walk with the Lord is more vital. Let us heed the call to be constant in prayer.
At a time like this we have an opportunity to learn about living in the tension of a fallen world. May the Lord grant us abundant grace for these testing times."
Dean Justyn Terry, from a 2008 statement, reprinted in the March-April 2009 issue of "Seed & Harvest"
