This Dismissal could be used at the end of a eucharist or service of the Word with a special focus on care for creation. It uses both of the possible responses used in the APBA Second Order Holy Communion service. The sequence of “faith, hope and love” leads into the familiar “go in peace.” The focus remains on the person of Jesus Christ rather than on the Trinity; the Trinity may be invoked in familiar or fresh ways in a Blessing which would precede the Dismissal.
Go in strong and growing faith. Trust in the tenderness of Christ
to heal a bruised and broken world.
Thanks be to God.
Go in eager and refreshing hope. Work with Christ risen from the dead, to fulfil the promise of a new creation.
Thanks be to God.
Go in costly and courageous love. Proclaim the power of Christ
to cleanse a defiled and disfigured world.
Thanks be to God.
Go in peace,
to treasure and to tend
the world God made and loves.
In the name of Christ. Amen.
