Then he said towards the end that he promised we as a nation will get there.
Referencing the last great words of The American Prophet:
Indistinct Union: Christianity, Integral Philosophy, and Politics 
I think we’re bending the arc towards a “brighter future” – or at least that’s what I think I heard 🙂
