I am ignorant of the history of the National Day of Prayer so I looked it up. It does not seem that it was intended to be a fundamentalist Protestant occasion but rather an event inclusive to the wide range of theisms in our nation. Was there representation of faiths such as Catholic, Unitarian Universalist, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh... you get the picture or was this an exclusively Conservative Protestant event aimed at that faith community? All the quotes I see on this forum and in the Daily Sun seemed representative of that segment of the nation.
