Introduction	I've grown up in the church and served it much of my professional life but still feel more like an outsider to it than a part of it. Most of my friends have said goodbye to organized religion and faith groups,and I completely understand why. I guess I see myself as a bridge between those who are connected to some sort of faith community and those who aren't.
