Why Christians should talk together about Obama’s visit to Hiroshima
“Seventy-one years ago, on a bright cloudless morning, death fell from the sky and the world was changed.”
I hear these words on a bright, cloudless morning on my way to work. They begin the speech that President Obama gave several hours earlier at Hiroshima.
As I listen to NPR’s report of the speech, members of two generations come to my mind. The reporter mentions middle school children in downtown Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and I think of my own middle school child summoned by a bell each day to his studies at the same hour the bomb was dropped.
