At the Cranmer-blog, we are told that the Parliament opens each day with a prayer in the name of the Triune God. The author asks why not a Day calling for national repentance, humiliation, fasting and prayer for national sins and an appeal to His Majesty, our one and only Advocate.
The United States has a Chaplain for the Senate and House of Representatives. It is my understanding that they do not invoke the Triune God.
Perhaps it is time to visit my Congressman, whom I know from earlier engagements. He is a Christian. I also know the Chaplain for the U.S. Senate, Rear Admiral Barry Black, USN (ret.). Barry will never pray "in the name of Jesus." His theology is politically rather than biblically shaped.
Posted as food for future thoughts.
