Yeah, that might have been preferable. Chas and I weren't praying along, though - not least because a prayer couched in "we Americans" terms would feel a bit disingenuous, but also because that guy is just not someone I'd be comfortable joining in prayer, really. I did pray for Obama tonight, but on my own.

It's this thing I've discovered I have - if the person leading the prayer is someone who's expression of faith is of a faith I can't honestly share, I can't in good conscience join my will to theirs in prayer.

I'm probably expressing this badly, I'm up waaaay too late, but I wanted to watch the Obama inauguration.
