What do you love most about your spiritual perspective?

What keeps you grounded within it, even as you explore other traditions and perspectives? i want to know what makes you "x" rather than "y" even if you appreciate a lot of what "y" brings to the table.

If I'd been raised in another liberal faith, I imagine that's what I'd be now.

However, I was most drawn to come back to church when Eugene Robinson became a bishop and when Katharine Jefferts-Schori became Presiding Bishop. I'm especially impressed that the church is standing firm in the face of resistance within the church.

So, I guess it's the spirit of love more than anything else. Plus, I love the liturgy and the music.
