6. I walked that path a long time ago

Got born again in my damaged young teenage years. Got tossed out of my church and turned on by my friends in my early twenties because I asked too many questions.

I was lucky because I could go home to my roots and upbringinging in the evangelical Lutheran church. It was difficult though, even for me. It took a while before I could find my faith again.

I feel really sad for Pavlovitz and all the other Christians who are persecuted by people they thought were brothers and sisters, and barred from what they thought was their home. I hope they find peace in a new spiritual home, whether or not they call themselves Christian. For myself,
I still believe in the Jesus of the gospels.

I wish I could tell him it will all be fine once he has his time to grieve. It will be.
