Some of the compression, around disengagement with faith is creating another area of argument.
Understand that faith alters, some parts of faith remain unaltered. But what found in `Nomadic` form of deconstruction, is full out non Christian backlash.
Arguments about sexual freedom. Being imprisoned by virtues that forbid teenage sex, discourage non faith relationships, encouraged to stay away from customs not Biblical.
When we engage with only those involved with our likes, values, beliefs. We perform detachment.
But even as 16-17 year old l could recognise damage done not engaged with others around myself
Didn't need to be told that, nor was that option presented to myself.
Perhaps because brought up in a city in the North. Perhaps coming from working class council estate.
Perhaps it was Church l was involved among. Probably combination all three.
The canvas painted about faith offering was wide, varied, pretty colorful.
Every Sunday in Church, most weekdays in boxing gym, working among ethnic groupings, no one encouraged desperation.
No old fashioned ..'remain in isolation only mix with your detailed Faith community' ..View was expressed.
It was always engage, include, and encourage encounters, invite those in relationships with to our events. It was part of us, To be inclusive.
Hope programmer involved with, activities engaged with, meetings people attend, Hope that comes across.
