Trying to make Sense of it

I've been doing a lot of research for this blog. As I've been reading the stories of many other Christians who were hurt by circumstances and/or people in their church, I'm beginning to see some commonalities. The great thing about blogs is that you have the history. I've skimmed these blogs and can see how the people have changed over the past couple of years.

A former Baptist minister - now totally rejecting the Christian RELIGION, though holding on (as best I can tell) to his faith....

A thirty-something mom whose been out of church for 18 months. She says her faith is strong. Just trying to decompress....

A homosexual Christian who feels the church has rejected him...
