Over at Presbymergent, Leon Bloder has posted an open letter to his congregation, First Presbyterian of Eustis, Florida.  In it, he urges calm among congregants who are either ecstatic or in despair over BO’s election victory.  Money quote:

As the Church, the Body of Christ, we need to lead the way in the
healing that must begin after such a long and contentious political
season. How can we do this? We can first recognize that as the Church
we are called to “unity in diversity,” through the power of the Spirit
of Christ in us and all around us. The Body of Christ is diverse.
