Prayer
Petitions for prayer in the aftermath of the collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factories in Dhaka, Bangladesh:
Please pray
- For those who are now grieving and anxious about the future
- for all initiatives that seek to improve labour and safety standards for workers in Bangladesh and in other countries worldwide
- for the Ethical Trading Initiative in Bangladesh, that it will succeed in creating real change
- that companies will be rigorous in their commitment to and implementation of their ethical policies
- for a change in the mindset that seeks to maximise shareholder return at the expense of ethical considerations
- for a change in the consumerist mindset that focuses on desire, choice and cheapness over the wellbeing of other people
- for companies and organisations that do act ethically, that their ethical activities may inspire change in others.
