What an incredible story of life, learning, growing, and living into a faith that is both humble and prophetic. I could relate to the CCC experience in college (a few decades earlier than yours but equally as hypocritical). It took about a year for me to walk away from that group and from the evangelicals who had “welcomed” this Presbyterian (United Presbyterian Church in the USA, aka the Northern Church) only to try and “convert” him.
Thank you as well for pointing me in the direction of some new Substackers. Have a blessed Holy Week and Easter (when it comes… when I was in active ministry I spent a lot of time putting on the brakes with parishioners who wanted to blast straight through Holy Week and onto Easter Sunday).
Wow...just wow! Thank you so much for this, Angela. You are an inspiration!
Thank you so much, Rebecca.

Right?! Holy Week is such a gift. I get the temptation to rush. But it’s so worth it to force yourself to slow down and take it all in.
