Lowery towering over Pastor Schtick

[BeyondGeography]

"God of our weary years, God of our silent tears."

[liberalmuse]

1. Now that is a prayer!

AND poetry all wrapped into one. Lovely.

[dhill926]

2. I'm not religious, but damn.....

what a beautiful prayer!

[Tinksrival]

3. Now this is a beautiful prayer!

This atheist approves!

[Jennicut]

4. Is this the benediction?

He is doing a great job, beautiful.

[Critters2]

13. Yeah. Not what I expected from a benediction. Typically, a benediction

isn't a prayer but a blessing of those gathered. This was a stunning prayer.

[truebrit71]

5. He is brilliant and compassionate...

...funny too!!

[Glimmer of Hope]

6. Damn that was good!

[B3Nut]

7. Now that's what a prayer is supposed to sound like

I've been drifting more toward a deistic agnosticism...but right now I feel like havin' a little church in here...

8. Proud K&R!

...making Warren look like the pathetic buffoon he is!

Damn...he's moving me close to tears...laughter too!

[KitchenWitch]

9. That was beautiful.

Too bad Prick Warren was at the beginning.

14. Consider the contrast and who do you think will be quoted and remembered?

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. It's been several years since I've been to church

But if I had to sit through a sermon on Sunday, I'd pick Lowery's church.

[Critters2]

11. "Lift Every Voice and Sing" always moves me to tears.

Lowery's quoting it had the same effect on me. And his quoting the prophets. I'm melted by his use of language. Just melted.

12. Indeed.

"We pray for not only our nation, but for the community of nations..."
