A House Democrat tasked with leading the body in an opening prayer for the new Congress has gendered the word “amen.”
To close a prayer he delivered from the House chamber Sunday to mark the swearing in of the 117th Congress, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), an ordained minister, altered the traditional “amen” to say “amen and awoman.”
“May the lord lift up the light of his countenance upon us and give us peace,” Cleaver said during his two-minute invocation, “Peace in our families, peace across this land, and dare I ask o Lord, peace even in this chamber.”
“We ask it in the name of the monotheistic God, Brahma, and ‘god’ known by many names by many different faiths. Amen and awoman.”
While Cleaver may have been trying to be inclusive to women, “amen” is not a gendered word. The word translates from Hebrew to mean “so be it.”

SJW MRN.
It's a fact that America is a Christian country founded on Christian values. We need to bring Christianity back into public life at all levels, the executive branch, the legislative to pass laws that conform with Christian ethics, and the judiciary that needs to adjucate with a Christian morality. Unless we give Christianity more prominence in the United States again, we will lose our Republic, our liberties and freedom like religious freedom to practice our religion the way we are meant to practice it and the way it was enshrined in the founding of the USA.
it might be too late thanks to Obama and his administration.
