I always thought that job was to ask God’s hand in wisdom and guidance over deliberations concerning the betterment of the country.
Has that all changed so that we get “non-denominational” pc scolds?
United States Senate chaplain
On June 27, 2003, Black was elected the 62nd chaplain of the United States Senate. He began working in the Senate on July 7, 2003.[3]
During the 16-day United States federal government shutdown of 2013, his invocations began to garner widespread national attention. On Oct. 1, the first day of the shutdown, he prayed for divine guidance to, “strengthen our weakness, replacing cynicism with faith and cowardice with courage.” On Oct. 3, he prayed, “Save us from the madness. We acknowledge our transgressions, our shortcomings, our smugness, our selfishness and our pride... Deliver us from the hypocrisy of attempting to sound reasonable while being unreasonable.”[4]
