I often find a lot to agree with in Winters' articles, and he makes it seem possible to be both religiously orthodox and at the same time liberal and reasonable. But when you read the comments that accompany his posts, he begins to look pretty isolated among his co-religionists - certainly in the US, where online religious discourse has become distinctly shrill and partisan.
