Not long ago, I found myself in an American hotel room, channel surfing America’s political news circus, when I came across two programs featuring religious leaders passionately discoursing about President Trump and America.
As a clergyman from Australia, I was naturally interested in the perspectives of my religious peers. I was particularly captured by how the two speakers in the parallel programs used intensely religious language, how they invoked God, how they quoted the Bible and the way they mentioned a whole pantheon of religious themes. But their political convictions could not have been more disparate.
