Rep. Darrin Camilleri, from the 23rd District, offered the following invocation:

 

Today’s invocation has been adapted from a speech given by the late South African Bishop Desmond Tutu. It’s titled, ‘Prayer in a World Gone Mad’

How do you pray — why do you pray — when the world seems so determined to be unjust?

I am reminded of the story when God revealed to Abraham his intentions to punish the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Notorious for their sinfulness and unrighteousness, Abraham attempted to intercede on behalf of the cities to prevent their destruction.

Abraham said, ‘Would God condemn and destroy guilty and innocent alike?’ ‘What if there are fifty innocent people — would they also be destroyed?’

God said no. If there are fifty innocent people, then not only they, but the entire cities will be spared.

Abraham went on to whittle the number down until God said the cities would be spared if even just ten good people were found in them.

(As it turned out, Sodom and Gonmorrah were lacking ten good people, and the cities were utterly destroyed).

But isn’t Abraham’s advocacy the true lesson in the story?  That the many depend on the few — the principle of vicariousness.

Abraham demonstrated it when he pleaded for the two cities, leaning on his own special relationship with God.

Using it not for his own aggrandizement,

not for his own benefit,

but for the sake of others.

So,...why do we pray in a world gone mad? …how do we pray in a world gone mad?

With humility and repentance, confidence and joy, and with persistence — knowing that God has a soft spot for us, and that like Abraham, the few must advocate and work for the many.

May we all echo Abraham’s vicariousness and Bishop Tutu’s resolve in addressing the injustices in our world. May we pray for a world gone mad. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. LaGrand, Hood, Hope, Ellison, Sneller, Cherry, Sowerby, Clemente, Brabec and Breen offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 246.

A resolution to urge the United States Department of the Interior to approve the petition of the Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians for federal acknowledgment.

Whereas, The Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians (GRBOI), are the political successor-in-interest of the Grand River Ottawa people that first established a sovereign-to-sovereign relationship with the United States via the 1836 Treaty of Washington (7 Stat 491) and as further strengthened by the Treaty of Detroit (1855) with a specific reservation set aside for GRBOI located in western Michigan, including areas north of the Grand River in and around Muskegon and Grand Rapids (see Article VI of the Treaty of Detroit (1855)); and

Whereas, Such sovereign-to-sovereign relationship is consistent with the legal history of other successor-in-interest Michigan treaty tribes (see Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians v United States Attorney for the Western District of Michigan, 46 F. Supp. 2d 689 (1999)), including an award from the Indian Claims Commission (Docket 40-k) on March 27, 1968; and

Whereas, The State of Michigan previously recognized GRBOI, in 1996, as a historic Indian tribe that continues to exist as a tribal entity; and

Whereas, In 1997, U.S. Congress, even though GRBOI was not yet formally acknowledged at the time, enacted the Michigan Indian Land Claims Settlement Act (P.L. 105-143) and as part of the law enacted provisions that were intended to distribute land claims settlement funds to GRBOI in anticipation of their recognition; and

Whereas GRBOI filed a petition (Petition #146) for federal acknowledgement with the United States Department of the Interior, Office of Federal Acknowledgement, that is currently pending a decision from the Office of Federal Acknowledgement; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Department of the Interior to approve the petition of the Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians for federal acknowledgement; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Governor and the U.S. Secretary of the Interior.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
