"But as church becomes a place where people go to look good — instead of being the one, safe place where they could risk looking bad — we're losing that regular storytelling forum. And the salvation, redemption and communion it allows."
In a world where we accept what it means to be human--that talking about our fears and our urges helps us to take ownership of them, to master them--we could hope to dispense with the lies we teach, the lies we preach, the lies we cling to in the darkness that are sometimes all we have to link us to the past...and we could get on with living.
