Some African bishops at a Vatican meeting said they view President Obama’s election as a divine act, differing from some of their U.S. brethren, The Associated Press reports.
Archbishop Gabriel Charles Palmer-Buckle of Accra, Ghana, said he believes God directed Obama’s election victory.
"We believe God has his own plans. God directs history," he said Wednesday of the election. "We pray that it (Obama’s presidency) brings blessings for Africa and the whole world."
