Hi everyone!  Welcome to walkingtowardsthelight.org, a site for people of faith interested in exploring what it might mean, even in the face of unresolved questions and ambiguities, to live a life fully devoted to God.  Whether you hail from a Conservative or Evangelical background, find yourself on the Liberal end of the Christian spectrum, identify with another religious tradition, or are more comfortable with the currently in vogue “spiritual but not religious” label, you have a hunch and sneaking suspicion that losing yourself in the service of your Creator and fellow man is, just maybe, what it’s all about.  And even if you don’t have the surety you may have had as a child, you still believe in Something More – Something worth finding and experiencing.  Something worth giving your life to.  Or maybe someone worth following…

This is a site for the discussion of such things.  I am interested in exploring what a genuine Life of Faith looks like, generally within a Christian context, but across a spectrum of theological belief.  I am more interested in what unites us than what divides us.  And I care far more about “How shall we live?” questions than abstract theology, although I am well aware that the latter can affect the former.  Maybe I have tipped my hand already, but I have long given up on personal theological certainty.  As Paul says, in this life we have to get comfortable “seeing through a glass darkly.”  But even if we have to deal, to some extent, with the darkness, we can still walk towards the Light.

So grab a cup of tea and let’s discuss Scripture, Faith, the Historical Jesus, Theology, Philosophy, Religion, or whatever the heck else comes up.  You will also find that I enjoy a good book review…If I get into a preachy mode, just know that it is, in all likelihood, aimed at myself:)  Anyways good to have you aboard, and don’t be shy about saying hi…
