Opening Words  -  Roger Fritts

We gather together at this time and this place to affirm our liberal religious values.

Here we believe that it is possible to have joy without hysteria. We believe it is possible to have morality without inquisitions. We believe it is possible to have community without conformity. We believe it is possible to have authority without slavery. We believe it is possible to have religion without madness. We believe it is possible to have worship without idolatry. And here we believe it is possible to have love without perfection.

We welcome all who wish to join us in this celebration of life.
