"What kind of background and experience of this faith can you bring to the table having been raised (indoctrinated?) by non-believers?" "WOW. You'[ve got an opinion on the life experience of someone you obviously don't know at all. Way to go. Why don't you tell me your background first- and then I'll share mine." Raised Presbyterian. Attended Sunday School/Church for 12 Straight Years growing up. At one time (Junior Senior years in high school) contemplated becoming a Presbyterian Minister. Was a youth Official in the Presbyterian's governing Body. Attended a Quaker affiliated college. Thought their approach (Work is love made visible) made more sense and their emphasis on social justice also. Became disillusioned with it all post participating as an Infantry Officer in the VN War. Recovered some of the Quaker values of social justice. Witnessed the acts of committed people to try and improve the lot. Your turn.
