“In de Tocqueville’s classic book, “Democracy in America,” which scholars believe is probably the greatest book on any national policy and culture, once said the following:
“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there…
“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her democratic congress and her matchless constitution, and it was not there ….
“Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.
“America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”(Leon Jaworski, Crossroads, Crossroungs. 128).
