Your Views: Prayers for leaders of nations eventually may come under fire
Placeholder Image
I found the two Your Views letters in a recent edition of The Times, “No better than today to pray for nation,” by Jullette A. Hawk and George Koesters’ letter, “We need a leader to represent everyone,” extremely interesting and probably agreed with in most circles. However, I found the Associated Press news article on page 3C, “Activist detained for anti-Putin prayer,” very disturbing and most likely indicated a future reality in the U.S. The opening paragraph of the article reads. “An opposition activist was detained and beaten Sunday after he tried to enter Moscow’s landmark Christ the Savior Cathedral to pray to deliver Russia from Vladimir Putin.”
