As trite and corny as it sounds, I believe we are witnessing the birth of quite a beautiful butterfly that has just shucked her cocoon.
Spread your wings, Mandi.

Can I tell you how freaking scared I am about this?
Of course you can. And I’ll understand.
Hi, JanieBelle. I’m here via a link at Kristine’s place. Your blog is lovely. The heartfelt post of Mandy’s that you link to is praiseworthy. I am a Christian myself, but I don’t feel the least bit threatened by the emerging dynamic that her post represents. Like many of us, Mandy is a Seeker. I admire that. I wanted to tell you that I think you are providing Mandy with a wonderful sounding board and encouraging her growth. I don’t have to share her conclusions to admire her search, and your encouragement. I left a comment on Mandy’s blog to further encourage her, and I wanted to leave a note for you here so that you know that I’m not talking about you behind your back!…:)
Peace….Scott
Hi Scott!
Thanks. It’s good to have a constant reminder both for myself and for my readers, that not all theists, religious people, or even Christians are fundy drones.
Because the fundies have such a prominent and vocal presence in American society, it’s sometimes easy to forget that most Christians are not whack jobs.
It is truly unfortunate that the public face of Christianity and other religions is worn by a dangerous minority of lunatics. I would do something about that if I could, but the truth is that the only people who can change the public face of Christianity are Christians like yourself.
I’m glad you’ve stopped by both here and Imago Dei.
