"I’m sure the founders of this faith and the founders of this church could not have imagined the world of today. But they gave us a way of thinking about religion, a way of embodying religion; they gave us a place to be religious together that is needed more than ever, in our pluralistic world. They knew then, as we know now, that our churches need to be strong and healthy not only to survive, but to be a vital presence where we will be so needed, for many years to come."
