Abstract:
"I just had this funny thought about John the Baptist, the preacher of fire and brimstone, and how his message might have been different if he were Episcopalian instead (it's a joke, OK? I know John wasn't really Baptist). In the end, repentence is hot, hard, sweaty labor. Maybe John knew that, and maybe that's why he took the approach he did instead of a kinder, gentler (more Episcopalian?) approach."
