SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Rev. Dr. Samuel Rodriguez, President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, issues the following statement:
“After what has undoubtedly been one of the ugliest and most controversial confirmation hearings in our history, I pray the nation would rise to the challenge of our time and come together as one. Where we have genuine disagreements and passionate, even bitter debates, may we always remember that ‘out of many we are one.’ I believe more fervently than ever that the church is the key to leading the way back to unity. It is in that spirit that I respectfully pray for Justice Kavanaugh, that he will emerge as a great asset to the nation in the preservation of life, the advancement of religious liberty, the defense of the Constitution and ultimately in the service of racial, spiritual and cultural reconciliation. May God protect and guide our nation in all civility, wisdom and peace.”
