font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">          Part 1 of this writing focuses on the Civil War era and how liberty centered around the issue of equality.  Some people of faith believed all men were equal, some did not.  Part 2 focuses on our present times and how liberty centers on the sanctity of life concerning abortion and gun control.  Some in our nation feel enslaved by the liberty of others.  Part 3 describes methods for closing the divide in our nation beginning with the faith communities.  <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><br /></div><div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
