Suid-Afrika is tereg geskok en geskud deur die wildbaas-stropery. 'n Gepaste gebed vir ons almal is dié van Krister Sterndahl (Gebed uit vroeg-Christelike kerk, Wêreldraad van kerke, Cum Boeke: Ernst Conradie):
Come Holy Spirit -- renew our whole creation/Nature and grace, soul and body, economy and ecology, matter hard and soft/For you do renew the face of the earth/of the whole cosmos over which you moved at the dawn of creation/As it was in the beginning and shall be, world without end.
