I am beginning this blog to share some of the questions (many), issues, and insights (a few) that have accompanied me in my spiritual journey.
Semi-full disclosure: Ordained as a Southern Baptist minister in 1971 after receiving the Master of Divinity degree; most recent church membership was Unitarian Universalist; currently unaffiliated, though I still hold to the once essential principle of Baptists that everyone is enitled to interpret their own conscience 'under God.'
Initial considerations:
[from an old Peanuts cartoon:]
1. "JESUS IS THE ANSWER!" (on a poster carried by Linus.)
(then on a poster carried by Snoopy:) "WHAT IS THE QUESTION?"
2. [from former North Carolina State basketball coach Jim Valvano:]
"I don't have the answers--I'm still working on the questions."
3. My view of religious doctrine and much theology [from the movie 'Crocodile Dundee':]
"They're like fleas arguing over who owns the dog."
That's enough for now--Ty
