Harmony is the Key

While I haven't yet come across specifics about your view of Christianity, I am much encouraged by the comments I have read. I left Christianity nearly three decades ago and am clergy with Church of All Worlds, the first legal Pagan church in the United States and Australia. I have been very devout since a small child, and while my experience of the Divine could not permit me to accept Christianity ultimately (despite my parents' best efforts), I am clear it was designed to be a religion of love and compassion, something I find so very little of in many who loudly proclaim their "acceptance of Christ as their saviour." I am committed to people committing to a spiritual path that makes their lives, and the lives of those around them work. I am also committed to people of all faiths learning to accept each other as sacred and as creations of the Divine. Whatever the hereafter brings us, we are all on this planet together now. Whatever the Divine is or is not, we can surely best serve by loving one another and making life the best it can be for all. I do not have an agenda of changing anyone's mind about their spirituality, except, perhaps, to the extent it invalidates others' paths. However I may be of service in bringing the World's religions in harmony with one another, I will gladly participate. Blessings to you. Avilynn Pwyll (avilynn@daft.com)P.S. I don't mind, however, respectful theological debate, however lively.
