Description

• Robert Morgan was a former United States Senator from North Carolina. Chapel opens in prayer and an introduction for song (0:00-0:40). Announcement is given about class schedules for the day, with reading from Matthew 25 followed by prayer (0:40-3:58). Introduction of chapel speaker, Senator Robert Morgan, is given (3:58-5:21). Choir leads in singing (5:21-10:12). Senator Morgan begins by reflecting on the separation of church and state and states that Christians should be involved in politics (10:12-14:29). He says that it is important for Christians to remain involved in politics because the country needs those Christians values (14:29-19:00). To do this it is important to have compassion for others like Christ has compassion and be willing to serve others (19:00-29:38). Senator Morgan concludes by challenging the audience to be responsibly involved in government as believers (29:38-31:36). Chapel is closed in prayer (31:36-32:34).
