Episode Notes

We have discussed the National Prayer Breakfast before. It is a yearly, eccumencal event held in Washington D.C. and since 1980, in the Washington Hilton Ballroom. It is hosted by members of congress, and organized by the Fellowship Foundation, though attendance for the event is not restricted to Christians. President Trump followed the keynote speaker for the event, Professor Arthur Brooks, a conservative Catholic who in the past has contributed to dialogs with the Dalai Lama and President Barack Obama. Professor Brooks has recently published a book, “Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt.” After the Professor finished his address, Trump spoke to the bipartisan gathered clergy and began with by disagreeing with the premise of forgiveness - not only the subject of Professor Brooks’ book but the central tenet of the Christian faith.
