I like Don Miller. I got into some trouble a while back for saying that I support his efforts in rethinking some issues within the evangelical church. I do not always agree, but I appreciate the effort to not turn a blind eye to injustice and hypocrisy.
He gave the benediction on Monday night at the Democratic National Convention. Here is what he said about it.
"I was honored to deliver the closing prayer at the DNC on Monday night. Evangelical voices have been scarce within this party, perhaps since the Carter administration. But as strides are being made on key issues of sanctity of life and social justice, as well as peaceful solutions to world conflicts, more and more evangelicals are taking a closer look at options certain members of the Democratic Party are beginning to deliver. There is a long way to go, but sending a message to Washington that no single party has the Christian community in their pocket, thus causing each party to carefully consider the issues most important to us, is, in my opinion, a positive evolution. I am glad that, for the most part, the dialogue has been constructive and positive. Will you join me in keeping the conversation thoughtful and not reactionary?
That said, I was honored to speak to, and especially pray with and for, the DNC."
You can read the prayer and see the YouTube link HERE.
He looks good in a suit.
