Julie, thanks. I grew up Lutheran instead of AOG, but a lot of what you sayresonates with me: Church and Sunday School, Catechism Classes, parents inthe choir and on the church council, a life immersed in religion. I rememberwhen I, too, would have rejected the separation of church and state, since it seemed self-evident that religion must be the whole of life. Then camedisillusionment, philosophy, anthropology, sex. And nearly three decades nowliving in a country where nearly three-quarters of the population seemsutterly indifferent to religion, except as a source of occasional fun duringthe New Year holidays or at shrine festivals. Peace be with you, John
