"These same people would not say, ‘I believe in medicine but I do not believe in medical schools, hospitals, and clinics.’ Nor would they say, ‘I believe in law and justice but I do not believe in law schools, courts, and police.’ Nor, ‘I love art and beauty, but I do not believe in art schools and museums.’ If medicine, justice, and art are worth fostering, there must be institutions devoted to those purposes. And so it is with religion"

Gary James (Unitarian Universalist, minister)
