Howdy - this sounds like it will be a good place to hang out now and then.... [View all]
I've not participated in religious discussions/groups at DU very often, since it is something I have few answers about (and consider myself on a life long journey to get to grips with it).....(I guess I am part of the "things to never discuss in public - religion....etc). And so I will read here with interest and put in my two cents when I feel it adds some value.
By the way - my dad was raised Catholic but converted for my mom to UCC....where I grew up (Sunday School, sang in the choir, ran the youth fellowship for a few years). Married someone who was Catholic but very unhappy/non practicing - so she and I became Episcopalians. through the years, we've drifted far from any organized religion (we attend Duke chapel on occasion due to the magnificence of the structure, and the music) - but the new ministers there since Will Willimon left are borrrrrring.....
So I guess we are non-practicing, spiritual folks who marvel at nature, feel there is something more than we can understand, and don't necessarily need to know what that something is.....it's been quite a journey..and hopefully only half done!
