WASHINGTON, November 3, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Conservative church leaders representing Catholic, Evangelical, Orthodox and Protestant traditions today rejoiced over the victory of President George W. Bush and others in Congress.
National Clergy Council president and board member for the Evangelical Church Alliance, the Reverend Dr. Rob Schenck, speaking on behalf of the Council’s executive committee, said this morning, “This election demonstrates that Democratic Party leaders have moved far away from the moral consensus in America. If they are to reclaim political relevancy, they will need to reexamine their positions on all the major moral issues including the sanctity of human life, the sanctity of marriage and the public acknowledgement of God.” Dr. Schenck announced that the National Clergy Council will hold a Prayer Service of Thanksgiving for the Election later this week on Capitol Hill.
