Why we left church
An overdue explanation to those we love inside the institutional church
It’s hard to know where to start, exactly. For those who know me closely, you already know that I’ve long had a general dissatisfaction with the institution of christianity in America, probably longer than we’ve known each other.
Much of this is due to how I’ve seen Jesus move and make himself known among those outside and uninterested in the church or cultural christianity. I’ve seen it in the frat houses on college campuses, the living rooms of my Hindu friends in India, and in the dive bars of deeply religious Arkansas. It never ceases to amaze me how Jesus pursues those who don’t have their lives together, don’t care about religion, and don’t claim the label of christianity....
