If you like this quote then you will probably like this book.
"A few months after the events of September 11, 2001, a couple visited our church for some Sundays. They liked much of what they saw and heard, and we're considering making our parish their worship home. In a visit with our priest, they voiced one major concern. American citizenship, they said, should be more prominently affirmed in the church's worship. Add more patriotic hymns, they suggested, and why not recite the pledge of allegiance during the liturgy? After pointing out that the corporate prayers of the people include intercession specifically for the United States, as well as its leaders of both federal and state government, our pastor counseled: "And we say the pledge of allegiance--the church's pledge of allegiance. It's called the Nicene creed." He was, as we Americans might say after the British, spot on. If we take seriously our baptisms and the Christian tradition, we are not first and foremost Americans, but Christians."
-Rodney Clapp (Johnny Cash and the Great American Contradiction: Christianity and the battle for the soul of the nation)
