Spirituality a genetic trait, says researcher

[The Salt Lake Tribune] December 18, 2004--''I wondered for a long time why [the concept of] a genetic implant hasn't been put in print or been part of a conversation in the broad theological community,'' said Bishop John Chane, of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington.

Chane associates Hamer's findings with the Apostle Paul's statement ''There are a variety of gifts but the same spirit.'' Chane also welcomes the notion of genetic universality as a new, deeper way of promoting understanding among people of different faiths - particularly Judaism, Christianity and Islam, all of which trace their beginnings to the same father, Abraham....

If Bishop Chane warms to Hamer's alleged findings, we can be sure that Hamer's assertions are ideologically-motivated.
