Thanks for your thoughts. I have been wondering the same thing. Going through this faith crisis now I feel so lost and I also feel like I’m getting obsessed with this whole issue. The church has defined me for so long and has beed a big part of my identity and now it’s not making sense. I wasn’t looking for this and I have known about most of the big issues for quite some time. Some days I feel peace but most of the time I’m almost in a panic about it. I grateful I have a safe place I can talk about these things and I appreciate the ideas that everyone shares but it doesn’t make the issues go away. I was just wondering what other people did when their shelf collapsed and how they managed to put some issues back on the shelf just so they can take a break for awhile. Any ideas?
