In my church, the ELCA, there's admirable stuff being done at the national and synodical level to encourage people to bring our faith to those around us, but dyed-in-the-wool German and Scandinavian Lutherans are hard to turn around. I have no doubt dyed-in-the-wool Universalists are the same way. ;-) I think that for all the bad the God Gulf years are bringing us, we're also seeing a willingness on the part of the guiltily spiritual to come out of the woodwork and start talking about faith. We need to do all we can to encourage that trend and let people know that it's not only the fundamentalists who are driven by their religious beliefs.
