| Just google Franklin Graham and the Columbine Memorial service.
I'm having trouble understanding what this was. Apparently, this was a government-sponsored event, yet there was blatant Christian proselytizing. I don't think that would happen in today's cultural environment.
Can anyone link to television coverage of this event?

| Holy shit, Al Gore himself repeated the Cassie Bernall story and preached a bit. 1 hour, 6 minutes. A response from Obama or Biden would have had fewer religious overtones.
And let's not even think what the current administration would say... | |

Can anyone link to television coverage of this event? Govt sponsored or not, clergy would be present and short of pulling them from the mic.. not much you can do. I remember reading about non christian religious leaders being put off by their counterparts, but that may have another service. | |

I guess I got used to the Obama/Biden era where religious beliefs were more downplayed. | |
