Clinton's Sunday Taste of Victory (Church)
The Times' Caucus blog reports:
Mrs. Clinton’s choice of a place of worship Sunday morning surprised some Puerto Ricans, and has been discussed on local radio. On an island that is predominantly Roman Catholic, she ended up going to the Pavilion of Victory, an evangelical church in Hormigueros, in the southwest corner of the island.Among those Protestant strivers, who had been worked into a state of enthusiasm by an hour of singing and dancing to rock and salsa-flavored hymns before her arrival, Mrs. Clinton obviously felt at home. She talked, in English and mostly without translation, not only of her political program, but also of her faith, and in terms that seemed to refer to her uphill struggle and recent difficulties.
She urged the congregation, for example, not to be “deterred by the setbacks that often fall into every life” and also said: “Do not fear to go forward, do not give up.”
“There isn’t anything we can’t do together if we seek God’s blessing and if we stay committed and are not deterred by the setbacks that often fall in every life.”
She added, “If I had listened to those who have been talking over the last few months, we would not be having this campaign in Puerto Rico today.”
