Unison Affirmation  
Apagamos esta llama pero no la luz de la verdad,  
Ni el calor de la comunidad ni el fuego del compromiso.  
Estos los llevamos con nosotros y los ofrecemos para bendecir al mundo. 

We extinguish this flame and not the light of truth, 
The warmth of community or the fire of commitment. 
These we carry with us and offer as gifts onto the world.  

Benediction
