ritch81 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 My name is Richard but since my son goes by Rich I got creative and added the "extra "t". I'm R/C from birth but ten or so years ago I got inquisitive, got hooked up with Bishop Spong who was thinking along the same line and began my search. I think labels are one of the destructive elements in religion. Preumably we're all looking for the same thing..."truth ". I think we're on the right track once we start ridding ourselves of labels and get comfortable with our personal beliefs. Look forward to joining in.

JosephM Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Welcome Ritch, I certainly share some of your feelings on labels. Its kind of like fire... as someone once said.... it can be a good servant but often makes a fearful master. I haven't yet found a label that is complex enough in vowels and consonants to describe a person. Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulS Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Welcome Ritch, Labels might be useful if they also came with a comprehensive list of ingredients (views, understandings, perception, cultural experience, etc) Alas that takes all too much time so many prefer the easy option of putting people in one nice box! I hope you enjoy the forum. Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soma Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Ritch, Enjoy the ingredients without a label. They are only judgements. Enjoyed your first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
