Hi - am pleased to have a chance to "talk" to fellow Christians who are open to questions and who are not afraid of reason. Am having many issues in an Anglican church which seems to be revisiting ideas which I thought were done and dusted many years ago such as a literal belief in Adam and Eve and demons. I really felt that by the time I was 60 our understanding of the Bible would have moved away from the literal. Am a youth leader and we now have 2 new leaders (lovely people however) who are very fundamentalist. Am torn between challenging them - which am reluctant to do in front of the young people, and giving up as a youth leader. Just as an example one leader told me she believed a story she heard on a Christian TV station about a man who was literally threatened at night by demons. Felt we were in the Middle Ages. Help!
