My reflex is to say that I'm sad to hear of this great one passing; but, at 91, seems like this guy led such a great life, and gave so much to others during so much of it. Well done, Mr. Moyers! www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

Not here to police who's a real Christian (I'm not any kind of Christian now, though I treasure much of what I learned when I was one); still, it's obvious that a big majority of White Conservative Christians identify as those three things in THAT order, on a STEEPLY decreasing curve.
