America is a land rich with a diversity of opinions. Each of us has different ways to tackle the same probl ems, different answers to the same questions. In his first Inaugural Address of 1801, President Thomas Jefferson cautioned us to have perspective, he said “every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle.”
We pray to the Holy One, the Creator of us all, to enable us learn from our differences, may our diversity be a source of strength, and inspire us to find ways to build bridges that bring us closer together as a nation. May this be God’s will--AMEN
