Taken from Lent & Beyond

An Anglican Prayer blog
One of the great themes of the East African Revival was the view that true Christian conversion must be accompanied by a contrite confession of sin. After being convicted of their wrongs by the preaching of the cross, believers should be willing to give public testimony to what Christ has done in their lives and be willing to make restitution to anyone who has been harmed by their sins. There is a plethora of stories in East Africa of new believers returning things that had been stolen, or confessing past ethnic hatred or sexual misconduct. Such a confession must be accompanied by a willingness to lead a new life of honesty and openess, a lifestyle described as ‘walking in the light.’

If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:6-7

Lord God Almighty,
Unbound by time, You set a light on a hill for this present darkness. We thank You for the East African Revival. We thank You for the light that shines from Mt. Kilimanjaro, across the Serengeti, to the headwaters of the Nile, and down the East African Rift. May it shine to Alexandria, and may there break out in the primates meeting a revival that will spread throughout the Anglican Communion.
Bright Morning Star, may a new day dawn in the Communion–a day of contrition and restitution, a day of repentance and testimony. We cry out, May the primates revere Your name! Sun of Righteousness, rise with healing in Your wings.
Bright Morning Star, we honor Your name. Heal the Anglican Communion! Lead Your angel-armies and free us from this bondage. May the primates leave the meeting, leaping with joy and bursting with energy, like calves released from the stall.
Bright Morning Star, we want to walk in Your light. Amen.
