Reflecting on the Minnesota State Government Shutdown, Pastor Gordon Stewart concluded his sermon of July 10, 2011 with these words: "When the lights of state government go out and the acolytes of death are the only lights at a darkened capitol , we, the followers of Jesus, are called to light our candles and pray for a kind of resurrection of public life....  Who knows, perhaps if we set our minds and hearts on the Spirit of Life and Peace, the Berlin Wall of the Cold War* in Saint Paul will come down because of candles and prayers." *Historical note: After the Berlin Wall had come down, the security officers of the city of Leipzig, East Germany, said "We were prepared for everything, except for candles and prayers" (referring to the peaceful candlelight vigil of the St. Nicolas Church in Leipzig that brought international attention to the will of the people)
