Hello, AnnieG here.
I’m excited about finding this site! I grew up attending a Presbyterian church in New Zealand which, more by chance than my parents’ choice, was fundamentalist in outlook. I lasted there until shortly after starting university. By that time it felt wrong to be listening and saying /singing things I no longer believed in.
Still, I felt I had lost something deep by withdrawing from that church. I became interested in historical sacred music and found the writings of progressive Christians /post-Christians helpful. I tried attending more liberal churches many years later, but it wasn’t easy to take my very young children along.
Now I’m living in South Korea and I haven’t found a church community where I can feel at home. I do read progressive Christian writing online, but have been wishing for a more interactive format. I think community building is a big part of spiritual life. So here I am!
