The Christian Today website reports that President Obama called for civility in the public square, as he said prayer could help people become more humble during his address at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. on February 4, 2010.
Regarding prayer, the President said, "It can touch our hearts with humility. It can fill us with a spirit of brotherhood. It can remind us that each of us are children of an awesome and loving God."
The President's attendance at the annual National Prayer Breakfast follows a long tradition dating back more that a half-century.
The event is sponsored by the secretive evangelical Christian organization, The Fellowship Foundation, also known as The Family. Its members include high-ranking U.S. government officials, corporate executives, and heads of religious organizations, as well as non-U.S. leaders and ambassadors.
