Religion Politics Culture: "We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love, one another." -Jonathan Swift "Heresy is not the real danger; exclusive, unloving bigotry is!" --Rev. Dr. W. Eugene March, in a 3/09 FP Interview

"I think this movement is, at its heart, a religious one, not in the narrow my line to God gives me all the right answers on lots of issues sense,
but in a powerful, converging and unifying sense. Perhaps the time of claiming exclusive religious
certainty that polarizes and vilifies is waning, finally, and a new movement stirs -- a recognition
that at the heart of our faith (and, much to our surprise, we find it at the heart of virtually all
faiths) is the simple claim that God is gently but surely guiding us to live lives of compassion
and solidarity."
