In cultural terms, this theological orientation translated into respect for both the natural and the human-created environments, an affirmation of the arts—especially the visual and the performing arts—and a respect for history. In political terms, it tended to emphasize social responsibility, rather than personal prudence, and conduced toward a "politics of generosity" rather than a "politics of righteousness." Social provision rather than social discipline was paramount. The individuals included in the New York Anglicans made outstanding contributions in politics, education, philanthropy, community service, and the arts. Many would be described today as liberal Democrats, but quite a few were Republicans. Some were or had been Socialists, but all shared a common bond of common prayer. All worshipped and participated in the common life of Episcopal churches in southern New York, and all were shepherded by bishops and clergy educated by the same handful of seminary professors.
