Take Up This Welcome

the long version

Many churches have done a good job of letting certain people know they don't belong. Sometimes it’s what they think or believe, or what they aren’t sure they believe. Other times it’s nothing more than who they are. This book is for people who have felt unwelcome in church but can’t shake the need for spiritual nourishment, for people who seek to worship without having to check their minds at the door. You may still not feel welcome in every church, but a great many churches really do welcome you and are prepared to support you and strengthen you on your journey. Maybe it’s time to reclaim your spiritual heritage and take up the welcome that many churches have to offer.
