This is one example why the anti Americans hate America. They hate Christianity. Christianity has been sown into the American legacy. If you separate one, then you lose the other. The morals of the wicked change like the tides of the sea. No foundation to say why everyone should follow their belief on right vs what makes something wrong.
The Apollo 11 moon landing...
Dean made special plans for two special communion services at Webster Presbyterian Church. One would be held just prior to my leaving Houston for Cape Kennedy, when I would join the other members in a dedication service.
The second would take place two weeks later, Sunday, July 20, when Neil Armstrong and I were scheduled to be on the surface of the moon.
For me this meant taking communion. In the radio blackout I opened the little plastic packages which contained bread and wine.
I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me. In the one-sixth gravity of the moon the wine curled slowly and gracefully up the side of the cup.
It was interesting to think that the very first liquid ever poured on the moon, and the first food eaten there, were communion elements.
And so, just before I partook of the elements, I read the words, which I had chosen to indicate our trust that as man probes into space we are in fact acting in Christ …
I sensed especially strongly my unity with our church back home, and with the Church everywhere.
I read: ‘I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, and I in him, will bear much fruit; for you can do nothing without me.'”
As they were returning to Earth, July 23, 1969, Buzz Aldrinstated via television:
“This has been far more than three men on a mission to the Moon …
Personally, in reflecting on the events of the past several days, a verse from Psalms comes to mind.
‘When I consider the heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the Moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; What is man that Thou art mindful of him?'”
