Quote of the Day: Rabbi Brad Hirschfield

Ron Ribiat

“Whether Mark Sanford’s victory can be attributed to divine grace, I can’t say. It can however, be attributed to what might be called … American grace, which is at least as important, and something that can be appreciated whatever one thinks about God.”

— Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, writing in the Washington Post after former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford won a run-off for a congressional seat despite his admitted marital infidelity.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
