 Full of confusion\, longing for peace we bring you\n\nour violent world\,\

 rule\,\nthrough Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.\n(Common Worship)\nDear Lord\
 ,\n\ngrant us to seek the ways of talking and meeting\ninstead if the ways
  of guns and war\nand that whatever our colour or creed\nwe may be as one.
  Amen.\n(Ken Poole)\nChristian Aid Week –\n\nChristian Aid works in war 
 zones and conflict-affected\nareas. They focus on both immediate humanita
 rian\naid and longer-term peace building efforts\, working\nwith local par
