And I would like to say a special word to our religious leaders. You know, I'm proud of the fact the United States has more houses of worship per capita than any country in the world. These people who lead our houses of worship can ignite their congregations to carry their faith into action, can reach out to all of our children, to all of the people in distress, to those who have been savaged by the breakdown of all we hold dear. Because so much of what must be done must come from the inside out and our religious leaders and their congregations can make all the difference, they have a role in the New Covenant as well.
对于我们的宗教领袖,我要特别指出,如诸位所知,我为这一事实骄傲,即美国人均拥有全世界最多的崇拜场所。作为这些崇拜场所的领导者,你们能够激发会众,将信仰落实为行动,可以达及我们所有的孩子、所有郁郁不欢的人、所有全力承受打击而备受伤害的人。这些我们必须要做的事情,必须发自内心,我们的宗教领袖和他们的教会能够改变世界,正因为如此,他们也在新的圣约中有其一席之地。
