A Collect for the Consecration of Barbara Clementine Harris 1st Woman Bishop in the Anglican Communion, 1989 GOD OF THE PROPHETS, we give thee thanks for calling Barbara Clementine Harris to the office of Bishop. Open our eyes to behold the wondrous works thou hast prepared for thy church in calling women to share in the ministry of the episcopate. May we, inspired by their example as faithful shepherds, wise teachers, courageous prophets, and guardians of the faith, proclaim the Good News and carry out the works of Jesus Christ in the world; who lives and reigns with thee and the Holy Spirit, One God, Now and Forever, Indeed. AMEN
