Comments on: Palin in Church http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2008/09/palin-in-church.html Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:16:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nancy C http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2008/09/palin-in-church.html/comment-page-2#comment-9988 Nancy C Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:55:58 +0000 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2008/09/palin-in-church.html#comment-9988 Governor Palin has passion and conviction. She exudes enthusiasm that likely gains agreement and support from those that are like minded. The Vice President of the United States will interact with many that hold not only similar, but often differing and opposing views. Having the ability to think on one's feet while communicating with diplomacy is critical to the role as comments made will be reviewed, analyzed, commented on, published, and challenged at a global level. Governor Palin will certainly expand her ability to effectively wing it as she continues to contribute as a government official. I question if the position of Vice President of the United States is the role in which to develop the basic skills needed to represent our country's interests with our friends and foes on an international level.

She has enthusiasm that is a bit contagious and probably unites those that are like minded. The Vice President of the United States will be representing our position globally where many will not be of a like mind. There will be those that will be of an opposing mind. Our Vice President must be equipped to represent our country while thinking on their feet. Commentary will be recorded, published, shared, reviewed, analyzed, and challenged. Within our country and around the globe. I have concerns regarding her ability to represent the best interest of our country with diplomacy while being required to think on her feet without preparation. While this may be a skill she can develop and grow into, I question the Vice President role being the place to gain this skill set. Governor Palin certainly has conviction and passion.

Sort of like what it is like for me to listen to Tom Cruise talking to Scientology people. Most of my friends growing up were Jews, it was easy for me to understand their tradition as my own (I am a Christian) was born of Judaism. I went to more than fifteen bar mitzvahs and a few Jewish weddings - I didn't understand the Hebrew, but I got the point. My Jewish friends have a MUCH harder time understanding our traditions - i.e. it isn't polite to have a 'come to Jesus' meeting with your Jewish friends. I attend a Baptist church here in Dallas called Wilshire, much more conservative than Palin's Bible church. Our pastor was the QB for Maimi for four years - he went to seminary instead of the NFL. Neat guy... Literally this is fairly typical in the Christian Bible tradition. Sort of like what it is like for me to listen to Tom Cruise talking to Scientology people.

It is not a highly polished speech and she does use some terms that are understood best by those familiar with "church speak" but that is who she is speaking to and for. As Christians we do seek to do what we think is God's will because we believe that God loves mankind and wants the best for us in the long term. This does not mean that He says "yes" to every request we make of Him (that would be chaos) but that He sees the big picture, the end results and will work things out for the betterment of all. So that is why she is asking for prayers, for guidance, for people to see clearly what should be done. I'm glad she is doing that and not relying on her own wisdom and trying to lead from that alone.

Generally terrifying. It is critical that we separate church from state, but modern politics is seemingly inseparable from religion. Generally terrifying.
