JAKARTA, INDONESIA - OCTOBER 20: Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono prays during the Inauguration ceremony for President Yudhoyono at the House of Representative building on October 20, 2009 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Today's inauguration is the second for President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Vice President Boediono and marks the beginning of the new Democrat administration following their election in July. This is the second term for Yudhoyono, who was also elected by the Indonesian people in the 2004 elections, defeating incumbent Megawati Sukarnoputri. A fresh Cabinet will be announced tomorrow.

See how Yudhoyono is praying. In many places around the world prayer is done with the palms of the hands facing towards the Heavens, this is to show honesty to God. Many times in our own Christian churches there are rituals where our Ministers and Pastors offer blessings and prayers in this position, for the very same reasons.◦
