Joe Biden quoted this phrase in his inauguration address echoing President Lincoln so many years ago when he signed the Emancipation Proclamation. All religions talk about the soul as the sweet spot for finding hope in the fullness of living. President Biden went on to say “to restore the soul of this country requires the most elusive of all things, unity.” Well, what is true out there in the world is so often true of our internal landscape as well. How we create unity within is the foundation from which we build unity out there. What do our souls ask of us on behalf of unity?
