Actually, scratch that -- it implies I'm curious about, or seeking, some religion to call "home." I'm not. Better would be "of no faith but eager” -- eager to experience that wonderfully electric, spiritually and emotionally moving, loving and welcoming connection that I hadn't enjoyed since you did this last year in Portland (yes, my last religious service attended!). And I have to say this, too: it ain't the hymn-singing or the hand-holding or the iPod selections that particularly do anything for me. It is 100% your sermons that move me so deeply. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>I wonder how many other atheists consider themselves such adoring fans of members of the clergy??? Well, only those who "get it" -- that love IS spiritual, and that religion is OBLIGATED to support social justice for ALL. Reverend Haffner -- Debra -- thank you AGAIN for being a highlight of another AASECT Conference for me and a shining example to your peers “of the cloth.” I can only hope that someday they, too, get it.Debra W.
