...people to hear a speaker on Buddhism. "I hear people say, 'Isn't it wonderful how we're coming together as a nation?'" observes the Rev. Don Sperber, pastor of the 700-member Grace United Methodist Church in Denver. "I'm troubled when the most common song I hear sung today is God Bless America, and I keep saying, '...as well as the other nations.' I'm not opposed to patriotism, but I'm opposed to having it be blind to the reality of the total world. I've been trying to select hymns that have a more global perspective...
