William J. Stuntz is a professor at Harvard Law School, and he has written a superb piece on the intersection of liberal and hard—left academics, the Christian church—goer, the Christian Republican, the non—religious Republican, the liberal democratic non—church—goer, and the Evangelical who goes to church and teaches at a university. His concluding remarks strikes a note of hope:
 
Humility, love of serious ideas, commitment to helping the poor —— these are things my faculty friends and my church friends ought to be able to get together on. If they ever do, look out: American politics, and maybe American life, will be turned upside down. And all those politicians who can only speak in one color will be out of a job.
 
There is something in the article for all readers of many religious persuasions.
