Thank you, Rev. Jim, for expressing a lot of truths close to my/our heart. Senator Rev. Warnock's acceptance speech Tues night was one for the ages. It can be viewed a number of places online, but the full transcript is worth having-- one can read it at https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/raphael-warnock-full-victory-speech-transcript
For decades i've wished that more Democrats running for or holding office would speak of their politics/policies as originating from an inclusive religious faith and its principles & values such as the ancient Jewish idea of justice (tzedek) and Jesus' Social Gospel, which gets expressed, for instance, in the official Catholic economic doctrine "the universal destination of goods" (God created the goods of the Earth for the good of all, not just the privileged few).
Rev. Warnock expressed some of these values and principles beautifully the other night.
*Allelujah* (indeed!)
This is the way to beat the apparently Godless Republicans who love to claim that they are the righteous party of "God," behaving more like pre-transformation Ebeneezer Scrooge and an American Taliban.....

Amen!!!
Wonderfully written, of course! Warnock's election is a victory at so many levels.
