From Today's Common Prayer
Frederick Douglass wrote in his autobiography, "Between the Christianity
of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest
possible difference — so wide, that to receive the one as good, pure,
and holy is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and
wicked. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of
Christ; I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping,
cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land.
Indeed, I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the
religion of this land Christianity."
