    Conclusion - Growing Spirit Wise

    I'm no longer convinced the term 'heretic' ought to be allowed in our religious and spiritual thinking. Do we all need to think the same way about Jesus to walk in the Spirit?

    Ch 4b - Pastor of the Paranormal

    Ch 4a - Explore

    The Bible remains plenty useful for learning about being human in a spiritual universe, but I think the Bible is at its best when we approach it as something to explore, not worship. I view the Bible as a conversation partner, not an authoritative dictator. It's time to widen the conversation and include spiritual people from all circles--especially those who might seem heretical. (Paperback Pages 68-73)
