I do not know what to think of this story. A Detroit preacher prays over three SUVs, one from each of the Detroit car makers.
SUVs at altar, Detroit church prays for a bailout
Part of me thinks about all of the other people that are already struggling in our nation and around the world. It seems like they are playing second fiddle to the automakers.
Also, an SUV really is not the symbol of responsible caretaker to the environment. I wonder if they should have prayed over some of the hybrids rather than the kings of the gas guzzlers.
But God does care about the automakers although they have been living disproportionately better than other Americans for the last forty years despite doing the same sort of labor.
I'm confused on what to think. Anyone have any guidance?

First, the article states that the vehicles in question were "three hybrid SUVs...a Ford Escape, Chevy Tahoe from GM and a Chrysler Aspen." So hopefully that puts your mind to rest a little bit.
Now getting to the actual action. Surprisingly (to myself) I am not against it. They are praying for a bailout because they understand the impact that success and failure of the Big 3 has on millions of people and families. Sure, they don't agree with the CEOs living in luxury while people starve, but if the car companies go under the CEOs will be fine and even more people will living in poverty. From my perspective, their intentions are honorable and taking the "least of these" into consideration.
