There has always been a dichotomy within Western religion (especially Protestant variants, but others as well) between focus on faith and faith-based activities, and doing good deeds as a sign of one's faith.  The Transcendentals were clearly in the first category and Missionaries in the second.  Boomers who fit in that world were, like Eric, New Agers and clearly in the first group with the Transcendentals.  I suspect the next Prophets will be more grounded like the Missionaries.
