Reverend Sharon Watkins, General Minister and President of the Disciples of Christ Church with 700,000 members throughout the US and Canada gave the sermon during the National Prayer Service at the Washington National Cathedral.
Upon hearing she would speak:
I feel both honored and humbled. Regardless of one's political leanings, all of America is celebrating this historic moment in our national history. The election of the first African American to the presidency opens the door of possibility in a new way to all of America's children. To be able to be part of that is tremendous.
My participation in this service can also be a moment of high visibility for Disciples. Given Disciples' core passion for wholeness, our vision of the healing of humanity through God's love, I am pleased to have an opportunity for the nation to become acquainted with our mission and witness.
