My first general impression was of an Anglican Theologian has who evolved beyond Institutional Theism to Humanistic Unitarianism, then to Universal Deism. It seems that some form of Deism may be the only viable worldview for those who are really familiar with Theology and Philosophy and Science. Deism is the only way I've found to reconcile these otherwise warring worldviews.
I have read that a high percentage of the clergy of mainstream Christian denominations are essentially Deistic in their understanding of God. I suspect that most remain in the closet though. Is this guy out, and still in the pulpit?

he said that what makes America great is that [we] tolerate all religions. lol _________________ “It’s time, we gave something back to the natural systems of order that have supported us, some care and tenderness, which is the most operative notion, I think – tenderness. Our isolations are gone, in the West and everywhere. We need to give some time to the arts of cherishing things we adore, before they simply vanish. Maybe it will be like learning a skill: how to live in paradise” ~ William Kittredge
