    Ex Christians

    King of the Jungle- I am too your brother in Christ and that came off to me as dismissive, rude and un Christ like. I received my baptism, I receive communion every single Sunday and I do my best to follow in the ways of the Lord as made known in our brother Jesus. I am unapologetically liberal...

    Ex Christians

    In my defense I was not attacking Catholicism as a whole or even Conservative Catholics. I was saying that many ex Christians come wounded from the conservative expression of Catholicism, from Evangelicalism and fundamentalism. I love many great things about Catholicism including the beauty of...

    Who do you love more?

    My highest love is for God and out of God's radically inclusive low for all humankind it makes me love all of God's children no matter who they are or where they find themselves on the journey of faith. My second love is my fiance and bride to be followed by family and friends.

    Ex Christians

    Who is/was Jesus?

    Jesus to me as a prophet of God who was deeply attuned to God's presence and voice. He bore witness to God's extravagant inclusion and love and taught the people in the ways of justice and liberation. He died because he challenged the ways of Empire and welcomed those whom the Empire and...

    God's name?

    God is not God's name. God is one of many we use to describe that which is beyond and yet present in each. As a liberal Christian I use the following names of God: Father, Mother, process, mystery, the Great I am, the still speaking, the still evolving, the still loving, Love, Creator, Redeemer...

The culture in many of these churches is a "don't ask don't...
