About pilgrimwb:

I'm a Quaker from childhood, who swam downstream (theologically and historically) about a hundred years, and afterward became a United Methodist. Raised an evangelical, I've been trying ever since to balance my "born again" love for God with an increasing love for others, by involvement in my church and through some personal writings.

"Intellectuals know that there is more to life than getting one's way. If we could convince leftists of that, we would raise their IQ's by five points at least. Smart people know that we must compromise reasonably, leftists are not very smart."
