The closing paragraph of Barack Obama's speech to the UCC General Synod:
"So let's rededicate ourselves to a new kind of politics- a politics of conscience. Let's come together- Protestant and Catholic, Muslim and Hindu and Jew, believer and non-believer alike. We're not going to agree on everything, but we can disagree without being disagreeable. We can affirm our faith without endangering the separation of church and state, as long as we understand that when we're in the public square, we have to speak in universal terms that everyone can understand. And if we can do that -if we can embrace a common destiny- then I believe we'll not just help bring about a more hopeful day in America, we'll not just be caring for our own souls, we'll be doing God's work here on Earth."
