At the Edge of Credulity

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT: In May, Scripps Howard News Service 
profiled former lawyer James Kelley of Washington DC, one 
of a small group at his local church who are enthusiastic 
Episcopalians but who say they do not believe in God. 
Said Kelley, "We all love the incense, the stained-glass windows, 
the organ music, the vestments, and all of that. It's drama. 
It's aesthetics. It's the ritual. That's neat stuff. 
I don't want to give all that up, just because 
I don't believe in God."
