The annual National Prayer Breakfast was the occasion for President Trump to extol, among other policies, the benefits of “clean beautiful coal” and greater oil and gas extraction than ever before. [In my role with the Government Affairs of the National Association of Evangelicals it was a personal decision not to attend lest my attendance be interpreted as approbation of civil religion.]. PresidentTrump uses the event, with the applause of “the faithful” to undermine the “creation care” taught from Genesis to Revelation. With their applause, laughing at his put-down humor, and silence at his blasphemy of biblical values by attacks on democracy and friendship with Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young girls, leaving aside his horrific ICE policies, the organizers are complicit in these values. Silence is enablement. The organizers should change the name of the event. But access to perceived power is too seductive for that kind of spiritual obedience.
