I never much liked the Ronald Reagan rhetoric treating the United States as the new Jerusalem, the “shining city on a hill.” It struck me then and, most days, strikes me now as idolatrous. But I can’t help feeling that the rhetoric fits this day. Thanks be to God, who has blessed this country lavishly. May those blessings abound in the new President’s administration. A small P.S.: Rick Warren’s invocation was very good, but I thought Joseph Lowery had the prayer of the day.
