I received an email recently from an old college friend, an appeal passed on and shared, apparently, among many people.
The request was for recipients to “pray for America.” Exclaiming, as it did, that this was our nation’s “last chance” to “save itself.”
Not that there is anything wrong with such a request. In fact, in his Romans 13 assertion, Paul implies that such praying is an important duty, at least for Christians. And, from the Book of Common Prayer, Episcopalians pray specifically for our nation and our leaders, at all levels of government, every Sunday.
