Of Niebuhr and Nobels: Divining Obama’s Theology — Politics Daily
History, Theology, Human Affairs
Interesting association for Obama; and juxtaposed with Bush’s fav. as Jesus, gives you some perspective on the people who have influenced those in power, however you feel about them. I’m not sure knowing Jesus any better gives any insight to Bush, much as I cannot see what Niebuhr knows is reflected in Obama. Both can be said to be ‘socialists’, and seems Niebuhr was the more ‘conservative’.
Also a kind of constructive Serenity Prayer was quoted by my dad from President of Harvard, Nathan Pucey, with a bit of a dialectic twist and extension: ‘Not to conform, not to destroy, but to want to and know how to transform and fulfill.’
I guess this didn’t resemble the passive, defeatist Serenity Prayer, where, hey, if I can’t make it better… adapt… accept that hand out from the superiors who have and do. I guess the work ethic of making sure that what you are doing is really something… based on not another’s orders or opinion, but something that you have discovered in listening to many ideas, many opinions, many hopes….like advancing not just accepting, even if it is advancing the lives of those who have no choice but to accept. Like at his founding of the Easy-K Foundation, it was providing a family setting so that growth and comfort and economy of forces could combine and progress.
