My article today over at PoliticusUSA is a follow-up to the discussion around our post here yesterday and includes a sea of sanity from a theologian – Pastor Howard Bess of Palmer, Alaska. As I said in that article, it is mainstream Christians like Pastor Bess that make it possible for me to call myself a Christian Agnostic rather than an Atheist.
I applaud his ability to hold true to his faith yet embrace modernity, recognizing that we live in a different world than those of biblical times. Please take a moment to click here and read his very important words on this topic.
Thank you,
Leah
I was more than happy to search out this web-site. I wanted to thanks on your time for this excellent learn!! I definitely enjoying each little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you blog post.
Thanks, as always, to Pastor Bess. He’s so sane, no wonder he retired.
Excellent! Thank you, Leah and Pastor Bess!
Whenever I see that Leah has posted a column by Pastor Bess, I drop everything to read it. What a joy to hear a voice of sanity in the noise that passes for a theological discussion. Thank you.
I left organized religion back in my early 20′s. I feel I have a great relationship with God. I just can’t stand churches. However, I’ve been reading Pastor Bess’s column for a few years now. His is the only church I think that I would willingly attend and joyfully listen to his words. Thank you Sir.
I second that one, HW…
Me too.
