Faith Unboxed – An unconventional conversation about God

Martha note 5-12-12: This month’s post in The Washington Post is called “Talking Christianity, walking privilege.”

…”Just as there’s no crying allowed in baseball, there’s no hunkering down in one’s comfort zone allowed in following Jesus. Living one’s faith has nothing to do with the ego-satisfying experience of imposing your own ideas on others without having to live with the consequences …”

Your comments are so welcome either at The Post or here .

Welcome!

Since you’re here, I hope you’re here to participate.

If you’d like to know what led me to start this conversation, please click on “My Four Days with the Episcopalians” under writings. One story is, after all, worth a thousand attempts at explanation.

To give our conversation structure, I’ll post 10 more monthly questions to help us probe our working relationships with the great Whatever. In the goose/gander sauce spirit, I’ll post my own (mostly short) answers, as well. The next question is scheduled to appear in On Faith at washingtonpost.com on Sunday, July 4th. It will also be asked on this website.

Editorial Policy

Civility and respect are the only criteria for participation. Threats of hell or howls of derision will be deleted. Anything mean-spirited will also be deleted.

There’s no right or wrong about this—and hopefully, by the time we’ve worked our way through the questions together, we’ll all be bit more aware of that. I look forward very much to talking with you.
