If you grew up in a mainstream religion, you probably learned all the doctrine, dogma or right answers in some religious textbook, catechism or memorizing your Bible quotes. But somewhere along the way, didn’t those pat answers and linear theology fall short, break down, or give way to more questions than answers? So where did you go?
What did you learn? How has the “stuff” of learned or Churchy faith been replaced,
or better yet subsidized by life experience, real faith and folk wisdom or common sense. Let’s name some of that! Give ourselves permission to explore what we’ve learned beyond linear doctrine. We may encounter God’s Holy Spirit in a profound ‘new’ way?
