I have been floundering a bit this summer, thinking about Jesus. I attend a Quaker church where Christian language is the language of the land, but it is not really my native spiritual language. That being said, I don’t want to be a religious minority, per se, and so appreciate the places where my spiritual practices coincide with those of the larger Christian/secular culture. I also don’t believe in a need for salvation, but see lots of utility in other aspects (and even that aspect, for other people/other times) of the Jesus mythology. I suspect I will be thinking about this post for a while. Thank you

I think this idea, of viewing ones faith as very personal, true and useful for oneself instead universally, is key to making room for the faiths of others. great post.
