Prayers in time of war

[The Church of England] The Church of England has published a range of
prayers suitable for use in churches and in the wider community following
military operations in Iraq.

The Invitation to Prayer website, www.invitationtoprayer.org, exists to
support both individual prayer and collective worship. Special prayers for
use in time of war have been added to the site today. There are resources
for clergy and laity, for use individually and collectively, and for use at
different times of day. These may form the basis for a short act of prayer
in church or at home, at a regular time each day or week, at the start or
conclusion of a silent vigil, or whenever people meet together to pray.

Many people feel a sense of uncertainty and concern in time of war. The site
includes prayers for peace and justice, for the Armed Forces, for the
victims of war, for the leaders of the nations, for friends and loved ones,
for the dead and for those who mourn.
