I was baptized Christian, and my family sort of fell away from church when I was in my early teens. I asked them to take me back to get confirmed—I was always so curious about religion and very interested in it. I still am.
I took a ton of different religious classes in college and was a sociology/anthropology major. I loved learning about why people believed different things, the need/want to believe, and different things that people believed and how that differed from what I believe.
We invited Buzz from the Religion department to come speak about the Bible and homosexuality. He does an amazing job. I also love the UCC’s "God is still speaking" campaign.
I don't really align my views with any one religion—and while church is sometimes an interesting place to go, I haven't really found that organized religion works for me right now. Maybe some day in the future!
