The New America: A Call to Disagree Without Being Disagreeable

by Hopeful Spirit on Thursday, July 2, 2009

When it comes to an issue or truth that you believe in, maybe even feel like God revealed that truth to you; how do you respond to another Chris­t­ian that might have the oppo­site view from you? Do you feel like the way you respond lines up with how God would want you to respond?

Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your stan­dard of mea­sure, it will be mea­sured to you.” (Matthew 7:1–2)

When I heard that Pres­i­dent Barack Obama had selected Pas­tor Rick War­ren to deliver the invo­ca­tion at his inau­gu­ra­tion, I was stunned. Con­fused. Out­raged. Offended. I felt betrayed by the man whose can­di­dacy I sup­ported with more vigor and enthu­si­asm than I have ever felt or demon­strated for any can­di­date. Most of all, I felt dis­ap­pointed. I ini­tially felt that the then-President-Elect had let down many of the Amer­i­cans who voted for him.

After all, Pas­tor Rick War­ren is a man who has uttered very ugly words about many of the Divine Creator’s chil­dren. Pas­tor Rick War­ren has engaged in hate speech which has hurt many peo­ple.  Pas­tor Rick War­ren runs a pro­gram at his con­gre­ga­tion that encour­ages self-hatred through efforts to con­vince par­tic­i­pants that they can change the inher­ent and immutable qual­i­ties bestowed upon them by the Divine Creator.

When asked about his selec­tion on Decem­ber 18, 2008, then-President-Elect Obama stated:

I think it is no secret that I am a fierce advo­cate for equal­ity for gay and les­bian Amer­i­cans. It is some­thing I have been con­sis­tent on and some­thing I intend to con­tinue to be con­sis­tent on dur­ing my presidency.

What I’ve also said is that it is impor­tant for Amer­ica to come together even though we may have dis­agree­ments on cer­tain social issues.

And I would note that a cou­ple of years ago I was invited to Rick Warren’s church to speak, despite his aware­ness that I held views entirely con­trary to his when it came to gay and les­bian rights, when it came to issues like abortion.

Nev­er­the­less, I had an oppor­tu­nity to speak, and that dia­logue, I think, is a part of what my campaign’s been all about, that we’re never going to agree on every sin­gle issue. What we have to do is cre­ate an atmos­phere where we can dis­agree with­out being dis­agree­able, and then focus on those things that we hold in com­mon as Amer­i­cans. So Rick War­ren has been invited to speak, Dr. Joseph Low­ery — who has deeply con­trast­ing views to Rick War­ren about a whole host of issues — is also speaking.

Dur­ing the course of the entire inau­gural fes­tiv­i­ties, there are going to be a wide range of view­points pre­sented and that’s how it should be. That’s part of the magic of this coun­try — we are diverse, noisy, and opin­ion­ated. So that’s the spirit in which we have put together what I think will be a ter­rific inau­gu­ra­tion and that’s hope­fully going to be a spirit that car­ries over into my administration.

Pres­i­dent Obama talks a great talk. But what inspired me to vote for him and has com­pelled me to keep faith in and with him thus far has been the quiet, dig­ni­fied — yes, even ele­gant — way in which he also “walks the walk.” For instance, true to his espoused ded­i­ca­tion to diver­sity of thought and opin­ion, he has not only called upon his elec­tion oppo­nent, Sen­a­tor John McCain, for advice, he spent part of his pre-inauguration evening at a din­ner hon­or­ing his for­mer nemesis.

The Divine Cre­ator uses evil to accom­plish good, so I believe that Pres­i­dent Obama’s selec­tion of Pas­tor War­ren served many pur­poses. Cer­tainly it demon­strated that Pres­i­dent Obama plans to be a bold leader. After all, he and his advis­ers knew that select­ing Pas­tor War­ren would out­rage many of his sup­port­ers, but he forged ahead.

Con­tro­versy gen­er­ates dis­cus­sion and Frank Sina­tra is cred­ited with not­ing that there is no such thing as bad pub­lic­ity. So per­haps Pres­i­dent Obama selected Pas­tor War­ren for the express pur­pose of stir­ring up emo­tion because he knew that the resul­tant tem­pest would inspire con­ver­sa­tion and, hope­fully, lead Amer­i­cans with diver­gent view­points to lis­ten to each other with new ears and see each other with new eyes.

And maybe Pres­i­dent Obama’s motives were as pure as his com­men­tary sug­gests. Per­haps he was sim­ply reach­ing out to a man who had once invited him into his church and given him a plat­form from which to share his vision for America.

We will likely never be privy to the thought processes of Pres­i­dent Obama and his staff.

That’s part of the magic of this coun­try — we are diverse, noisy, and opin­ion­ated.” Pres­i­dent Barack Obama

But on this night as I reflect back on the events of this glo­ri­ous, his­toric day, I believe that the con­tri­bu­tions of both Pas­tor War­ren and Dr. Low­ery to the inau­gural cer­e­mony served as a reminder to believ­ers every­where that the way to model Jesus’ teach­ings is a decep­tively sim­ply but pro­foundly, humanly near-impossibility: Do not judge oth­ers. It is inap­pro­pri­ate and, indeed, sin­ful to ques­tion another believer’s com­mit­ment to his/her faith or ele­vate our own under­stand­ing of the Gospel over our neighbor’s.  Because just as we believe that the truth has been revealed to us in a tan­gi­ble and inti­mate man­ner, so do our fel­low believ­ers.  And because the Holy Spirit uses each and every one of us to accom­plish its most holy pur­poses, those con­flict­ing rev­e­la­tions are not acci­den­tal or ran­dom.  Rather, each of us has our own rela­tion­ship with the Divine Cre­ator and we are granted knowl­edge and under­stand­ing in accor­dance with those purposes.

Pas­tor War­ren is a child of the Divine Cre­ator, loved uncon­di­tion­ally and called to serve.  I reject much of what he preaches and find many of his state­ments abhor­rent and repug­nant.  But I must refrain from judg­ing him because I will be judged, as well.  Rather, I am going to con­tinue striv­ing to reach out to peo­ple like Pas­tor War­ren whose views do not align with my own and whose under­stand­ing of Bib­li­cal teach­ings stand in stark con­trast to mine.  Pres­i­dent Obama is rightly call­ing upon all Amer­i­cans to “cre­ate an atmos­phere where we can dis­agree with­out being dis­agree­able” because within such an envi­ron­ment we can focus on our commonality.

Today Amer­i­cans came together to cel­e­brate our same­ness and revel in our diver­sity.  Dur­ing the invo­ca­tion, Pas­tor War­ren called upon the same Divine Cre­ator to guide our new Pres­i­dent and bless this nation to whom I pray.  He thanked the same Divine Cre­ator that I thank every day for the many bless­ings we enjoy in this coun­try, even dur­ing these chal­leng­ing times.

Like my fel­low cit­i­zens, I watched in awe as, with his hand upon a Bible once owned by Abra­ham Lin­coln, a man whose “father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restau­rant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.”  He did so on the steps of a build­ing erected with the labor of his wife’s enslaved ancestors.

I wept along with other Amer­i­cans who, like me, are old enough to remem­ber that ter­ri­ble day when a bul­let ended an earthly life, but not a dream, when Pas­tor War­ren remarked that “today Dr. King and a great cloud of wit­nesses are shout­ing in Heaven.”  If I were a gam­bler, I would bet money that Dr. King and that group of wit­nesses are, like we believ­ers on earth, “diverse, noisy, and opin­ion­ated.”  What a con­ver­sa­tion they must have had today!

My prayer for our new Pres­i­dent and this coun­try is that the same kind of rous­ing dia­logue has just begun in this coun­try and will con­tinue through­out his term of office … and well beyond.

Very inter­est­ing post. It seems as though Pres­i­dent Obama has started well in try­ing to pro­mote unity in our nation in spite of dif­fer­ent views. It seems he is work­ing hard to be Pres­i­dent of the UNITED STATES of Amer­ica and I applaud him for that.

2 Wenningstedt Ferienwohnung buchen Thursday, January 22, 2009 at 1:17 am

Diver­sity in beliefs should not spark another “war”. Reli­gion should be syn­ony­mous with peace. So why bother if mr. so and so did this or do that, what’s impor­tant is the thought. It really counts. And I salute you for set­ting aside your “lit­tle” tantrums ’bout Pres. Obama’s choice.

nice post. very objec­tive and mature, I think. it’s dif­fi­cult to remain so when dis­cussing pol­i­tics espe­cially when they are inter-twined with reli­gion as this par­tic­u­lar occa­sion did. despite what i think per­son­ally about Obama and his views, i believe he is an edu­cated and wise per­son who doesn’t take any of his pres­i­den­tial deci­sions lightly — not even the one you’re dis­cussing (who he invited to speak, etc.). every­thing is polit­i­cal at this stage of the game and don’t for­get it! and, although i do not share his opin­ions about so many things, i pray for him and the mas­sive job ahead of him in the next 4 years. it will take a big man to han­dle all that’s before him.

I agree with you but it does not bother me, we can con­sider he rep­re­sents a part of amer­ica and its ideas so his pres­ence is here to cre­ate this diver­sity of opinion.

Viola Jaynes‘´s lat­est blog post: Rare Encoun­ters

19 JudgeRight Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 1:07 pm

This is the cen­tral point in the entire con­tro­versy. “Our unity with other peo­ple does not mean that we must think and act as they do. All it means is that we should get along with them.” Now let’s exam­ine this very closely. Which party demanded of the other to think like they do? The whole thing began with homo­sex­u­als demand­ing that they be called mar­ried. In this state the homo­sex­ual has suc­cess­fully lob­bied and passed laws which give them every right afforded het­ero­sex­u­als with this one excep­tion. In fact, there are hate crime laws that give homo­sex­u­als spe­cial pro­tec­tions above and beyond what is afforded to the het­ero­sex­u­als. So why then, do they demand this label? The label is derived from spir­i­tual insti­tu­tions and these insti­tu­tions bless and affirm sec­u­lar het­ero­sex­ual mar­riages, so the label is afforded them. This dis­tinc­tion of sec­u­lar­ists and athe­ists are allowed to use the label mar­riage, why not the homo­sex­ual? is not valid because the label still belongs to the spir­i­tual insti­tu­tions. Like it or not, the Bible speaks directly against homo­sex­ual behav­ior and the spir­i­tual insti­tu­tions choose to with­hold this label from homo­sex­ual unions. This is not a sec­u­lar issue. This is not a rights issue. Noth­ing else is being with­held from the homosexual.

Please under­stand where I am com­ing from. I do not hate homo­sex­u­als. I have been min­is­tered to by homo­sex­u­als and I have rec­i­p­ro­cated min­istry to the homo­sex­u­als. I have no fear of their pres­ence, I claim friends from among the homo­sex­ual com­mu­nity and I truly care about the well being of our free­dom and lib­erty. It is unfair to label peo­ple who dif­fer with their lobby as big­ots and homo­phobes and this is merely a pro­pa­ganda line attack appeal­ing to the base emo­tions of the igno­rant. I choose to sup­port the ban on label­ing gay rela­tion­ships with the reli­gious term because I know the neces­sity of dis­tinc­tion. That dis­tinc­tion com­bats the blur­ring and even­tual destruc­tion of tra­di­tional stan­dards which are proven over thou­sands of years to ben­e­fit soci­ety as a whole.

I tru­ely believe Obama’s talks are great. He is one per­son with great charisma. I hope he can really find a way to solve the eco­nomic cri­sis in Amer­ica. He is aca­d­e­mic cre­den­tials are bril­liant, his back­ground is excel­lent and his ideals are great.

I per­son­ally think it doesn’t mat­ter if he invited Pas­tor Rick War­ren. He may have hurt a lot of peo­ple for his speech but Obama is Obama. His platforms/plans for the coun­try and his great mind what mat­ters most.

I’m glad obama is open for dia­log with peo­ple of othe beliefs. Even if he doesn’t think what they’re say­ing makes sense he’s at least will­ing to lis­ten to them and dis­cuss impor­tant issues. Most politi­cians sim­ply dis­miss peopl who have dif­fer­ent opinions.

24 Cindy Thursday, February 26, 2009 at 8:49 pm

In look­ing back it was a good deci­sion, but all the same, I hope that War­ren and his con­gre­ga­tion will con­tinue to pray for the Pres­i­dent, that he would make deci­sions in accor­dance with the Word of God, and not sim­ply the will of man.

i think, it is not fair to judge Pas­tor War­ren like that. He is a chris­t­ian and a preacher. He has to preach gospel. I know many poe­ple deny what the bible say about homo­sex­ual. But, it really say that homo­sex­ual is a sin. We, chris­t­ian who believe in bible NEVER HATE GAYS. God Too. He hates the ACT OF HOMOSEXUAL. Not the per­son. Because we who believe in the power of God believe that homo­sex­ual can change. But you have to acknowl­edge it as a sin first. If not, you will never be change. Well, just as you preach what you believe, than pas­tor War­ren has the right too.

I actu­ally like Obama’s approach. And there are some rea­sons for it:
he is smart, he has charisma, he is not solv­ing thing radically.

This politi­cian has a great poten­tial, and I guess, he will be able to use it fully.

36 Anonymous Thursday, July 16, 2009 at 11:53 am

I have never been excited about a pres­i­dent before, until Obama. I think he needs more time to show that he can do what he’s promised to do.

37 Richard Frawn Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 1:04 am

I think that some­times we expect from peo­ple to become mon­u­ments. And peo­ple are peo­ple, they do things that can be ok with their point of view but from pub­lic point of view could not be ok at all. And there is also one impor­tant thing: Obama is still what he sup­posed to be, just a man that man­aged to get to the top. Who he really is and how he really behaves? Only him and his fam­ily knows. He could be just like we all see him on tele­vi­sion, or not. There is no point guess­ing what man has inside of his head. The truth is that we all some­times are try­ing to be some­one else. We don’t swear where our par­ents are close by. We don’t steal not because we believe in good­ness but because we don’t want to go to jail, etc. Peo­ple are peo­ple, not angels, not demons. Every behav­iour comes from some­where and not even one comes from bright sky.
