Lincoln and religion

[L Verge]

Beautifully stated by both of you. This from someone who has let the CHURCH part of her life lapse, but still continues her FAITH. To me, it's how we treat one another that our higher being is concerned with, and that is how we should judge Mr. Lincoln. Somewhere in my Episcopal prayer book or liturgy there is a phrase similar to this: Faith is an outward and physical symbol of an inward and spiritual grace.

BTW: Dr. Todd, I believe that I communicated with you several years ago in requesting and receiving permission to print your family letters in an issue of the Surratt Courier that is produced by Surratt House Museum. It is so very nice to welcome you onboard this forum.
