Religion offers an exercise of human will to prevent our falling into the hands of demagogues and aristocracies that want frail lords to commands their brothers and sisters of the world. We know their kind and must express our revulsion at their evil deeds to control others for personal and the meting of selective favors to a few over promoting the good welfare of society.

The Episcopal faith in union with other faiths in Christianity will survive in some fashion; but it is a sign of the times that Christianity is losing members among formal religions.

The spirit of love for our brothers and sisters continues to spur those whom it calls to do their great works in helping others.
My opinion.
