"Many religions have been brought to this land.
And the way my religion is, they teach me, and they taught me,
and told me to respect all religions. And I still do that."

Much to our relief,
we discovered we did not need to consider another's conception of
God. Our own conception, however inadequate, was sufficient to make
the approach and to effect a contact with Him. As soon as we
admitted the possible existence of a Creative Intelligence, a Spirit
of the Universe underlying the totality of things, we began to be
possessed of a new sense of power and direction, provided we took
other simple steps. We found that God does not make too hard terms
with those who seek Him. To us, the Realm of Spirit is broad, roomy,
all inclusive; never exclusive or forbidding to those who earnestly
seek. It is open, we believe, to all men.
