The Rev. Joseph Lowery, who co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Martin Luther King Jr., took a more direct jab at Bush's foreign and domestic policies, drawing head shakes from Bush and his father as they sat behind the pulpit.
"For war, billions more, but no more for the poor," Lowery said, in a take-off of a lyric from Stevie Wonder's song "A Time to Love," which drew a roaring standing ovation.
"I would like to say 'This book is written to the glory of God', but nowadays this would be the trick of a cheat, i.e., it would not be correctly understood."--Ludwig Wittgenstein
"Talk to me about the truth of religion, and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolation of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand."--C.S. Lewis
