Hillary Clinton, Preacher – HuffPost

The lifelong Methodist considers a more Wesleyan path

In the Atlantic today, Emma Green is reporting that Hillary might have some post-election ambitions - outside the political realm:

Green goes on to write that both Shillady and Clinton have books coming out that reflect on the 2016 race and highlight Hillarys resurgent religious focus. And no wonder - as I wrote here a while back, there was a distinctly spiritual character to her concession speech, especially her invoking of Galatians 6:9. And it is often in the wake of failure or loss that we go deeper to the bedrock of our belief and lifes purpose. That may be whats happening for Hillary in the wake of Election 16.

As a United Methodist, Id be pumped to see Hillary take the pulpit in our church and dig from that deep well of experience, disappointment, and hope in a future harvest. Preaching, not politics, is precisely what we need to strengthen us in our weariness and propel us on the path of doing real goodto inspire us to not give up, even in the age of Trump.
