What role, if any should religious convictions play in the decisions about U.S. foreign policy? Madeleine Albright, whose funeral was Thursday, April 28 at the Washington National Cathedral, asked this question in her book, "The Mighty and the Almighty" She asked, "Does the United States believe it has a special relationship with God?" Besides serving as U.S. representative to the United Nations, and becoming the first female U.S. Secretary of State, she taught at Georgetown University for decades. He specialty was foreign policy. She researched, and learned first hand about the relationships of religion and government in countries throughout the world. She inspired women in leadership around the globe.
Her funeral was inspirational. President Biden, former president Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke, along with Madeleine's three daughters. You can watch the entire service on C-Span's YouTube.
