My view at the book fair

A “No Kings” rally was held across the street.

The short woman is older and severely mentally handicapped. The Trump administration has cut her medicaid support and expects Americans like her to take jobs formally filled by immigrants. She’s not capable of picking produce 9 hours a day.

She didn’t want her face online, but posed in her costume with her sign.

Faith on the Fringe is for people on the fringe of the mainstream culture.

I’ve been there. I spent nearly 35 years without any faith at all. I didn’t grow up in church or believe in God, and only visited church a few times in three decades for funerals or weddings.

After a conversion experience in my late-30s, — what Buddhists call a Satori — I began a Christian path that included baptism, earning a Master of Divinity and serving as the pastor of two Disciples of Christ churches.

Each of us walks a unique path, but many of us share similar experiences along the journey.

You can find Faith on the Fringe on Facebook. I write about Christianity and culture on my blog on Patheos.

I’m available to speak at a worship service or a gathering of like-minded friends. Contact me to discuss options.
