The concept of our established Church is occasionally misunderstood and, I believe, commonly under-appreciated. Its role is not to defend Anglicanism to the exclusion of other religions. Instead, the Church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country.

I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.

To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.

Especially is this meaningful as we regard today's world. Over the globe, mankind has been cruelly torn by violence and brutality and, by the millions, deadened in mind and soul by a materialistic philosophy of life. Man everywhere is appalled by the prospect of atomic war. In this somber setting, this law and its effects today have profound meaning. In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America's heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country's most powerful resource, in peace or in war.

I'm going to treat my religion, which is Christian, with great respect and care.

If all Christians acted like Christ, the whole world would be Christian.
