As we await the results of this election (with anxiety), I think it’s important to remember that we are an experiment in democracy. Some 220+ years old, we are still young in the terms of human history. To be sure, the world is watching us and the world is rooting for us, to be as Abraham Lincoln said, “ that nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”
John Kennedy understood this when he said, 'We must always consider, that we shall be as a city upon a hill – the eyes of all people are upon us.'
We strive to be “a more perfect union” and we are not there yet but as MLK said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
I pray that we stay calm, that we let the vote process play out, and that when it is done, we come together and move forward in this great experiment in democracy.
