That was a digression--------however, an interesting one. Having some family ties with New York going back to the Episcopalian days I found your comments of interest in fueling further research. mj

To use a geeky analogy, British and American culture are the Borg. All other cultures, including their mosques, will be assimilated and given a Disney make-over. Nations and cultures with other religions have been incorporated into our economy and will continue to do so. This is our strength, not our weakness. Resistance is futile. Growing up as an Episcopalian, I appreciated Garrison Keillor's fictional story this weekend on "Prairie Home Companion". He recounted working as a deck-hand on a luxury cruise ship on the Great Salt Lake, the S.S. Saltine, which was owned by the church of Latter Day Saints - at least the stern and bow were. The middle section which included the bar and casino was owned by Episcopalians. I think business leaders have historically found the Episcopalian church attractive because it's minimal doctrine is pragmatic and supportive of commerce and connections. .
