Theistic Agnosticism
December 5, 2006

Reasons for Wandering
November 3, 2006
Maybe at some point I’ll post a bio, but for now I need anonymity. This is however a first step towards a generic bio.

These reasons will therefore be more applicable to this strain of Christianity than something like Catholicism. However, I think some of them are general enough to engage Christianity in a more ecumenical fashion. I will be posting on these points individually and will make them available for comment, critique and honest inquiry.
