I’ve been contemplating the whole idea of continuing to attend church #3, and overall the place “church” has. While, the place it has is a relatively simple answer…the idea of continuing attendance has not been. As I get to know some of the people there more and more, the more I actually do like these people.
My concerns of continuing though are:
- That I become the church’s “project”…I fear that many of these people as they get to know me would make it their “mission” to try to “save” me.
- That I would somehow misrepresent myself to be something I’m not. It’s hard as most make the reasonable assumption that I am already a Christian.
I’ve had the opportunity to let some people know where I was, and that I believe myself to be agnostic. And thankfully, they didn’t go all preachy and sunday school…they were actually pretty cool about it. And it seems like there is still true friendship there.
I think for now, I’m going to try to continue to attend there, and just do my best to handle the potential to become a project, and watch what I say.
