he invited abraham lincoln to speak in february of 1860. at that point in february 1860 abraham lincoln isn't even a dark horse coming is the darkest horse candidate for president. he hasn't announced the presidency beneath her candidacy. the papers couldn't figure out his name. several just went with abe lincoln because they didn't know his first name. because of that, the plymouth churches got cold feet and didn't think he would be able to attract a crowd so some of us brought him over to manhattan and brooklyn and switched the venue to cooper union in manhattan. the speech he made there in february of 1860 was the most important of his career because it made his career. at the same time he got his picture taken by that famous photo of him standing in his wrinkled coat because he just got off the train leaning on some books. books. that photograph and then copies of the speech went out around the country and introduced them to this abe lincoln that they didn't know before and pretty soon he announced his candidacy and gets elected preside

so first, let's start with abraham lincoln. in november, 1863, when lincoln spoke so memorably at gettysburg about a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, he was looking towards a hoped-for future rather than accurately describing the american past. a growing shelf of modern scholarship challenges lincoln's understanding of history. yes, some of the founding fathers wanted to curb or restrict slaveowning. historians,g to they had a far stronger desire to create a federal union that possessed sufficient power to govern a continent. lincoln taught the founding fathers expected slavery to disappear, but the constitution, slavery newe protections, establishing what vancleave calls a slaveholders union, making the south and equal partner as the united states first took shape. historian agrees. everyone who purchase of hated in writing the constitution in philadelphia in 1787 new that it had to mollify slaveowners. the framers omitted the word " from the constitution to shield na

pop quiz about abraham lincoln. abraham lincoln, famously a republican.rguably the greatest american president in the history of american presidents. one of the greatest and most consequential of americans to ever walk the earth. clearly, i think the greatest and most consequential politician to ever walk the earth. here is the pop quiz about abraham lincoln. what party was abraham lincoln before he became a republican? because he became a republican right at the beginning of republicans. their first national convention as a party was 1856 in philadelphia. lincoln was there at that convention. he almost got picked as the brand-new republican party's vice president that year at the first convention. that was their first convention, the republican party didn't goat founded until then. what was lincoln before that? if you said he was a wiig, you win the nonexistent prize. he was a wiig in the wiig party and became a republican. abraham lincoln ran for the party. it has a funny name, but it was a major political party. at one point or another, president's joh

are now 16 years from the assassination of abraham lincoln, and apparently, people in the white house still have not gotten the message, have not read the memo, have not learned what we need to do to protect america's presidents and keep them secure. because like some of the people in this room, james garfield had a summer house at the jersey shore, and one very hot summer, he simply wanted to be reunited with his family. he wanted to take the train from washington dc to the jersey shore. and people in the white house allowed him to drive to the train station with his secretary of state, james blaine, but with no security whatsoever. when they arrived at the train station, they were met by another member of garfield's administration, robert todd lincoln, the son of our most revered president. but no security whatsoever. that is how garfield's assassin was able to sneak up on the president from behind, pull out

s., and as ron was talking about, the abraham it take traditions, we talk about one god. so what we get between this is the many gods as the formational background of the asian and pacific island on one hand, and one god as a tradition for christians that are embraced. and what does it mean to hold those two in contention at one time to make ourselves to the one god religion in our own life context. i think that is one of the issues that we struggle with.>> what is the answer?>> i use a simile that does not really mean anything, but at least we recognize what we know about religion for the faith is not complete. that there is more to what even the christian faith is all about than what we already understand, or articulate. the moral part of the greater reality is something that we hold tentatively in our own faith position, even though we are permitted to it, it is a very strange kind of position to be in.>> the japanese novelist had the term, "for repeal people" because we need to negotiate two histories, two languages, two religions, and we need to know two different se
