I appreciate you Caitlin for giving me the time, and inspiring me to talk about my experience with my own faith (which I'm sure a lot of people within their own Christian schools of faith can relate to), and I may add that although this experience have shaped me significantly in the way I see my own faith, it also allowed me to see the goodness in humanity in general, from every faith and walk of life.. My embracing of inclusivity, shouldn't diminish my own faith or the faith of others if it adds to their lives, it should add to my own too.
I think we tend to get on the defensive way too easily when it comes to 'the other' and that prevents us from seeing the potential for goodness within that 'other'. Allowing oneself to appreciate different sources for 'good deeds' adds to your own 'goodness' and kindness.. Thank you again, I hope someone who reads this finds some solace and connection with it.. much love..
I join with Shelli in thanking you for sharing your journey and letting us get a look inside your questions—even more so your questioning—through your skillful storytelling.
Loved reading this. Thank you for sharing this generosity of thought and spirit.

Thank you Ann.. The skillful storytelling comes from the editor mainly, who was Caitlin. My writing is full of grammatical howlers hah.
