[Dialogue] [globaltoptrainers] The Inauguration

[Tracy E. Longacre]

"but the one that struck me was more or less "Where we have failed to be
tolerant of one another.""

 

Wow, pretty richly ironic coming from a guy who strongly supported Prop 8
and campaigns against the rights of LGBT people to live normal lives like
the rest of our citizens.

"What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition,
on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation,
and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize
gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the
spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult
task."                      - President Barack Obama, Inauguration Speech,
21 Jan 2009

Thanks, Jo, for pointing this out.  I was pleasantly surprised and deeply
addressed by Rick Warren's prayer.  Guess there's a reason for his large
following.  Especially present was the dynamic of confession.  Something
like, Where we have failed  ___________ , Forgive us, Lord.  There were
several of these phrases, but the one that struck me was more or less "Where
we have failed to be tolerant of one another."
