“Today everybody’s a Catholic,” said an Anglican priest from the speaker’s platform at the media-ignored Federal Plaza rally for religious freedom on March 23 attended by hundreds. He was Rev. Stewart Ruch, senior pastor of the 950-member , in Wheaton. On the platform with him was Rev. Kevin Miller, associate rector, who gave the closing prayer.

A deacon from the same parish, Rev. Keith Hartsell, associate pastor for mission, stood in the rear of the crowd, making quite a figure in his jeans-cum-clerical collar, standing with two (“the middle two”) of his and his wife’s four children, pre-schoolers ensconced in a double stroller.
