01. BONO REMARKS AT THE NATIONAL PRAYER BREAKFAST

Total Running Time: [21:45]

This DVD has Bono's entire speech from beginning till end!

Can a rock star preach? Apparently those who head up the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. think Bono can. Bono spoke at the annual event with President Bush sitting close by. I would argue, however, that although there was much to commend in Bono’s remarks, there was also much to be concerned about. 

We can all appreciate and affirm Bono’s desire to see the Christian church get more involved in addressing poverty and disease in Africa. We welcome the challenge that he gave to Americans to be more generous in their giving to charities that help bring relief to those who are suffering there. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ has the responsibility to care for “the least of these,” and Bono has rightly called all our attention to the needy in Africa.
