Tim Ryan, Democratic congressman from the rough and tumble Youngstown, Ohio area has had his book "A Mindful Nation" published by the foremost New Age publisher, Hay House, Inc., whose founder Louise Hay, is a new age teacher of "positive affirmations" as shown in:

INDIANA TEACHER WITH BACKBONE WANTS SEPARATE STRAIGHT PROM

JEWISH VOICE INTERVIEWS JONATHAN CAHN

Decide for yourself if the nine omens given to ancient Israel are applicable to America. Are there universal principles that apply to America in particular as they did to Israel? Why not the rest of the world? If 2012 was to be the end of the world, why are we still here in 2013?

The desire for these is "engagement" in an ecumenical sense to counter religious extremism in its varied forms, making "religion work through religious leaders who bring 'vision' to the text of Scripture", and "finding a new way of being religious", without giving up true Christianity and true Judaism as they interpret them, as heard here:
