[Paul Atreides]

We joined an Episcopal church where the priest was proud of his reputation as an avant guard liberal priest. He had come to the church in 1957 and had assumed a ministry based on personal devotion to his members, and an overt social liberalism that eschewed such common symbols as the American flag and N.C. State flags in the church

That was the big mistake. Why would anyone, claiming to be a conservative, willingly walk into such a ticking time bomb?
