An admirer writes:
It is not a pregogative, but an imperative for members of the faith community to build bridges of understanding and compassion across rigidly constructed borders of religion. It is the responsibility of clergy and faithful alike to not only tolerate religious difference, but learn to embrace it.
Kudos to Madisonians for taking the lead in this most important task of humanity!
