Two meetings of the “Faith Caucus” were held during the Democratic National Convention. These meetings were historic. It was the first time the Democratic Party had invited religious leaders to their conventions. Panels discussed issues of concern to America’s diverse religious community. I was there and you can read my reflections on the meetings here and here.
It was clearly evident from the gatherings that Barack Obama has developed a coalition of people who want deeply to end the divisions we face in this nation and to seek common ground in addressing our common challenges.
Being there to watch Barack Obama accept the nomination of his party to serve as the next president of the United States was simply awe inspiring. But I was also inspired each of the four days by meeting and hearing from people of faith from across our nation whose deepest beliefs have propelled them into action supporting Senator Obama's agenda of change for the future.
