Sen. Warnock: Faith in politics requires humility, not certainty
By
Michel Martin
Summary
Sen. Raphael Warnock discusses his new book "The Crooked Places Made Straight" and the role of faith in U.S. politics. Drawing from his role as senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church (once led by MLK Jr.) and his position as a U.S. Senator, Warnock argues that faith in politics requires humility rather than certainty. He delivered a Juneteenth sermon at Washington National Cathedral in 2023 framed around the prophet Isaiah's message about valleys being exalted and mountains made low.
