| Introduction | I grew up as a Roman Catholic and left the church when I was about 20 years old. I wandered through life searching for "THE ANSWER" to life. Eventually, I attended seminary and became a Protestant pastor. Still, I was dissatisfied with life and my understanding of God. Then one day, a friend invited me to return to the Church. I was afraid to return. I was divorced and I "thought" I knew the Church's teaching about that. I had run so far from the Catholic Church I assumed there was no returning to the Catholic Church. I was so wrong about that. I am back in good standing in the Catholic Church. I have begun to strengthen my spirituality. To that end, I have answered a call to become a Secular Franciscan. As part of the apostolate I want to share with others, through social media, my journey. But more than that I want to dialogue with you about a Franciscan view of the world by looking at issues from Gospel to life and life to Gospel. |
