Your response to Josh’s question is one of the most succint summations of this strange journey we’re on that I’ve come across so far. I could ditto it completely. And for the record, I would be most happy to pow wow with you anytime, on any subject. :)

Thank you for your inspiring answer to my question. I think it is so brave of you to tell all this and to be conscious of your belief evolution.
Some of us raised Christians dwell for years in guilt and feelings of being sinful for not being able to believe what we are told and taught.
Anf even if we were to break free from those communities, there is always that look from people who think you have gone astray rather than found your own personal path…
I do feel a bit jealous because I don’t live in a broad-minded society and will probably never have the chance to build a community like the one you had in Seattle.
Still, it is refreshing to read that others think and believe things similar to the ones I believe in.

Thanks again!

Hey Priestess, I wish I had made it to Seattle when you were still around. Thanks for answering these questions and allow us to see deeper in your soul.

Paz y esperanza,

This is a great post. I especially agree with what you said about “transformational theology” and the “myth of personal holiness.”

One of the biggest, most important challenges I have as a mother is figuring out where and how my own childhood understandings of God went askew, and then attempting in consistent small ways to better share and explain my faith now to my children. Reading the thoughts and perspectives of people like you really helps me sort it all out. Thanks for your openness.

These answers were so cool! Especially the one about being a tree. Me too. I’d be a tree, definitely. A giant Entish oak :)

So interesting to read your answers to these questions. I liked what you said about the myth of personal holiness. And thanks for the nudge to Leonie, I just signed up for her Creative Goddess e-course.
