A bit off topic, but that starts to sound awfully like, "we're of our father Abraham" to me. Although ministers making statements like that may be well-meaning, and although the statements may be intended in some way other than the impression they give, they still make me cringe every time I hear them. It's almost enough to make me go credo.
