National Prayer Breakfast

66th Annual National Prayer Breakfast in D.C. included by various reports (see, e.g., NYT) fairly bland comments from Trump. Looking on Twitter, saw some seeing some strong sectarian rhetoric, but then that's typical here. So, maybe we are grading on a curve. Some references are annoying, such as the prayer in support of a sick girl (how about supporting health care?). Obama gave more inclusive remarks; back in the day was somewhat concerned with his framing. Overall, don't like talk of "believers" (=in a certain version of God). Overall, these things amount to mild establishments of religion, that is, certain forms.
