“Whilst we assert a freedom to embrace, to profess, and to observe the Religion which we believe to be of divine origin, we cannot deny an equal freedom to choose minds who have not yet yielded to the evidence which has convinced us.”

This is the essence of respect and tolerance. I wish fundamentalists of all faiths would embrace this sentiment.

... nor can we deny you your freedom to follow a path other than the one we see as the more valid one... a two way street with many many paths...

I was OK with this until after the word freedom...

Excellent example of holding dearly to your own beliefs while respecting and protecting other, even if different, beliefs.

Perfect example of the basis of true Christian thought...
