The Myth of the Fading Role of Faith in American Society
Michael Wear, who worked in the White House faith-based initiative and led the Obama campaign’s religious outreach, writes at Relevant on the president’s faith and the recent Easter prayer breakfast at the White House. He acknowledges that “Christian beliefs are no longer assumed in national debates and conversations.” He: “What the Easter Prayer Breakfast suggests about the state of faith and public life in this country is consequential, but so is what it suggests about the president who hosts it, and our Christian obligation to him as our governing authority.”
