Damoclese,

Perhaps Queen Elizabeth I put it in the most succinct terms that I have ever heard. There is but one faith and but one Christ Jesu and the rest is a dispute about trifles. She also stated that she chose to build no windows into the hearts of men.
Interesting woman in any case and in her family you had to read the prevailing faith and walk a chalkline just to keep your head .

Later,

Mredd
