I’ve started reading Christianity After Religion: The End of Church and the Birth of a New Spiritual Awakening by Diana Butler-Bass. So much of what I’m reading is just what I struggle with:  the nature of God and how to share that with others in a world where the very word “God” is a turn-off for so many people. How can I bring people to understand what it is to be in relationship with Creator when they don’t want to even think of (or admit to) there being a Creator. 

I don’t, for a minute, think that I am meant to run around and convince people to be Christian. But I DO believe that we are supposed to bring people to their own relationships with that One. We model … we talk about … we LIVE that relationship and I guess that’s all we can do, but I have to say that I wish we could find a way to reach OUT and prompt dialogue about these topics.

Any ideas?
