Why Go To Church If You Don’t Believe Anymore?

Religion Dispatches continues to be one of the nation’s most outstanding resources for articles and conversations about religion.  Recently Angela Bonavoglia posted an article that is both thought provoking and heart warming.  As a “lapsed and lost” catholic she is where so many find themselves today who were once active and present in a faith community.  I believe most of us are still drawn to the mystery of faith unburdened by the dogma and the insistence on “believing” in that which no longer makes sense or is believable.  Yet in her article, Angela says, “I don’t believe in Jesus Christ as God any more—or maybe I believe in him as a little piece of God. But I believe that others were, and are, that little piece of God too. The truth is that for me, the way of the cross symbolizes the deepest challenges of life.”  Click here to read Angela’s article from Religion Dispatches.​
