This too comes from Volume I of The Collected Sermons of William Sloane Coffin, The Riverside Years, page 221:
"Anytime a president wants to be moral, he has only to point out that ancient faiths are confirmed by emperical events. A crisis always means that morality has again become pragmatic."
By the way, he said this about one of President Carter's speeches in 1979. It's still fresh today though.
