About Me
I was brought up in a liberal Christian Church (Congregational) . When I was a teenager I became a Born Again Christian, but lost that faith and became Atheist in my 20's.
I have been a Unitarian Universalist for 25 years. Unitarian Universalists believe in process and encourage exploration. I started as a religious atheist, and have explored different religious/spiritual traditions during that time.
Today, I would call myself an Agnostic who draws meaning from several different western and eastern sources, but selected parts of the Abrahamic and Christian traditions as well as pre Christian (Pagan) traditions are particularly important to me. I am awed by my experience of an undefinable "something" in life and nature. I'm not really sure what that something is ;-)

Hi, Bob! Guess who! - November 1, 2008 - 08:31 PM
I joined this thing some time ago and now I'm posting to it, finally. See you in church one of these Sundays, eh? when I'm not too lazy to show up... :)
