I recall you objected to these meetings when Ashcroft led them for his staff. Do you also disapprove of the ones described here? Key White House policy and political operatives are doing more than crafting new messages and building new coalitions; they're also meeting together for prayer and Bible study from noon to 1:00 p.m. each Thursday. The prayer meeting draws some four dozen staffers from all over the White House complex, including (not surprisingly) the Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives. The meeting also includes individuals from presidential personnel, speechwriting, public liaison, the office of the White House Counsel, the Vice President's staff, and even White House interns. Another prayer and Bible study involving career government employees who work in the White House complex meets on Tuesdays. The meetings, organized by long-time Bush aides who held similar prayer meetings in Texas, are not designed to advance administration work or career networking. They are to give Christians the opportunity to break away from their high-stress work for an hour and remember in whose kingdom they really serve. worldmag.com
