President-elect Donald Trump has been in the news a lot in recent days for controversial ideas on America’s global footprint. Meanwhile, former President Jimmy Carter lies in state at the Capitol this morning before being transported back to Georgia for internment this evening. The rancor of the political Left and Right against each other has seldom been so vividly on display at one time. Our partisan divisions are clearly reflected in a new Gallup report that shows a record-low percentage of Americans are satisfied with the way democracy is working in the US. These trends are symptomatic of a larger issue at work in our society, a factor that should evoke both grave concern and empowering spiritual hope for us today.
