Rick Berg on Principles & Values

Member of the Congressional Prayer Caucus

Throughout the more than 200-year history of our nation, prayer has played a vital role in strengthening the fabric of our society. The purposes of the Congressional Prayer Caucus are to:
1. recognize the vital role that prayer by individuals of all faiths has played in uniting us as a people and in making us a more generous and more forgiving people;
2. collect, exchange, and disseminate information about prayer as a fundamental and enduring feature of American life;
3. use the legislative process--both through sponsorship of affirmative legislation and through opposition to detrimental legislation--to assist the nation and its people in continuing to draw upon and benefit from this essential source of our strength and well-being.
