As mentioned, I had to go to the Post Office the other day. One of the employees working there I remember seeing a couple of times before. He stuck in my mind because he seems to have one of the coolest attitudes of anyone I’ve met. It’s a bit hard to describe perhaps, but the
Article: Why I Left the Institutional Church
“A growing number of people are leaving the institutional church for a new reason. They are not leaving the church because they have lost their faith. They are leaving to preserve their faith.” (Reggie McNeal) From the author of Pagan Christianity: Why I Left the Institutional Church

Why I’m Leaving Church
