E170 Loving America
Manage episode 382881718 series 3527488

However, to truly love America, we must somehow see both sides simultaneously. We do not fail to see the sins and failings, but we also see past them to the hope and the promise. Seeing the sins and failings is therefore not final and fatalistic. We see them but we see beyond them to the possibilities of goodness and forgiveness and redemption. We recognize the story is not over.
