Hello from Heidi

[HeidiPJ]

Good evening,

I am a Borg- and Spong-inspired justice-focused Christian. I was raised as a United Methodist and felt my faith gain traction and teeth upon discovering Marcus Borg, and also my aunt who is a leftist-Christian clergy!

My hope for joining this space is to connect with other like minded people- especially if they are young-ish professionals who are now at home raising kids in a small community which is quite moderate-to-right leaning (although not fundamentalist!) now that's a tall order!

Welcome, Heidi!

Welcome Heidi,

Hoping you find just what you are looking for here. There are a quite a few Borg and Spong fans here.

Again welcome to the community,

Joseph

Welcome Heidi to the Forum.

How goes it in the hunt for youngish professionals at home raising kids in small communities being moderate to right leaning?

Hello Heidi—lovely to meet you! I'm a new member as well, and I have also thoroughly enjoyed exploring the writings of John Shelby Spong. I'm currently a largely stay-at-home mother of one, though I am juggling some online university studies and some part-time seasonal work during this time. My community is somewhat small and rural, though I am fortunate in that it is nonetheless quite diverse. While I may not be a perfect match to your checklist, I hope you will feel free to get in touch if ever you like!

Best wishes,

Miriam
