I have no idea, but even a secular sports writer recognises that they are not one and the same (my emphasis):
This is not simply about Tebow’s play, this is personal.
And even if he ends up being the worst quarterback in the history of quarterbacks, why are we OK with turning his Christianity into a punch line? If Tebow were a devout Muslim, would we snark about tenets of his religion? Or if he were Jewish? Or Buddhist? Or atheist? Or Espicopalian?
Maybe, but those cracks would be flagged by the PC crowd almost immediately. Christianity is fair game.
Is it just my imagination, or is the bold sentence a list religions in the order of the strength of their belief in an omnipotent, supernatural, omniscient God? Descending order.
Being an Episcopalian is culturally acceptable. Being a Christian is culturally objectionable as well as it should be for we are not to be a part of the world!
One can be a Christian without necessarily being an Episcopalian. For example, there are a lot of Presbyterians, Methodists, Congregationalists, Pentecostalists and members of other denominations who are definitely Christians. Even Roman Catholics, for that matter consider themselves to be Christian. Generally, as far as lay people are concerned, I would say that most Episcopalians consider themselves Christian. It’s only the liberal-progressive clergy who appear to have difficulty in accepting the message of Christ
I do believe that was his point, Pietro.
