Bishop Gene Robinson with Rachel Maddow

I watched the program last night and as usual, a calm washed over me merely by the sound of his voice and the words he spoke:

Please God, I fear for the Bishop's life as well as that of the President-elect, keep them all safe from harm and make this inauguration a positive experience for us all. In your many names, I pray.
Amen.

    I share your appreciation for the Bishop's "presence" - his calm, his reason, his sense of humor.

    I also share your prayer - intensely!

    I feel like a child waiting for Christmas morning - that's how excited I am about this new era.
    Fuck the rednecks.
    Fuck Akinola.
    Obama and Robinson give us hope.
    The whole world is waiting for this change. Thanks for posting this - I don't have access to cable.

    Bob C. gave me the heads up to watch Bishop Robinson on Rachel's show. You're right, he has a very calming influence. Who knows, if he was pastor of a church down here in Slower Lower I might even return to the organized church! To me this man is what Christianity is all about. Peace, love and harmony.
