Contrast with Robert Dole’s funeral, which began with “Lift High the Cross,” a hymn proclaiming the gospel and the doctrines of the church, and ended with “I’m Proud to be an American.”
There is America, and there is antiAmerica; the Carters got their funeral hijacked by the latter, the result of staying Democrat long after it stopped meaning American.
my wife watched the funeral last year for Queen Elizabeth II and was thunderstruck by the amount of Gospel she wanted preached as she was laid to rest.
I am convinced she was a true believer and is in heaven with our Saviour right now.
Even the Netflix series “The Crown” acknowledges her faith—one episode focuses on her meeting with evangelist Billy Graham and she is show regularly kneeling in prayer before she goes to sleep.
The United Kingdom is adrift, but for a few years she was at least led in a titular manner by a true Christian.
