“The loudest voices we hear are those who advocate conflict, divisiveness.”
— John C. Danforth (1936 – )
Episcopal Priest; US Senator (1976 – 1995);
Missouri Attorney General (1969 – 1976)
As a former U.S. Senator and ordained Episcopal priest, Danforth often used this phrase to criticize the rise of intolerant, politically charged, and self-righteous factions within national life. Ah, we do understand his criticism. Divisiveness… from both sides of the aisle… also means no progress.
