Finally, some good news about religion
National Day of Prayer Task Force Knocks Obama White House
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country US News & World Report The National Day of Prayer Task Force, headquartered at the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, has issued a statement criticizing the Obama administration for the way it's marking the annual event this Thursday. Though the Obama administration has announced that it will issue a proclamation marking the National Day of Prayer, it will not hold a formal White House event, as George W. Bush had done for the past eight years. - - - Well, maybe we are coming out of the Dark Ages, one step at a time. |

Obama seems to be looking beyond his 20 something year Jeremiah Wright influences. Eisboch |

Obama seems to be looking beyond his 20 something year Jeremiah Wright influences. Eisboch Well, he surely sat through some of those "Wright" sermons, but he doesn't seem much influenced by that style of rhetoric or what little content it had. I've heard some really good preachers in my day, and in fact a college friend from way back when, a southern Missouri boy, was a master of the mellifluous style. He went on to ministry school after graduation, and last time we talked, was a genuine "country circuit rider," visiting the smaller rural prisons in Missouri and Arkansas. It never mattered what he said; it sounded great. He dragged me to Episcopal services a couple of Sunday mornings a month, not because of the religion but because he claimed the best-looking young women attended the church *and* the church served the very best Sunday brunch in that college town. He was right on both counts. I think in his heart he hoped to lead me to "the path." Well...he tried. :) |
