Hello Lamar
I think you wrote an excellent letter.
I gave away my Christian belief some 20 years ago. In public I will still participate in public prayers, but in private if fine no value in prayer. On the other hand I see a lot of value in writing in my journal, which is in my view much the same thing.
My wife if she's asked her religion looks for a box labelled "Buddhist". She's very involved in T'ai Chi Ch'uan and spends a lot of time with the Chinese community here in Christchurch.
I think Lloyd Geering speaks for thousands of people who are nominally "Christian", but see the religion of their childhood becoming more and more meaningless. Someone who is committed to the church as you are should take the time to see the full length video, and go to the library and see if one of his several books are available.
Unlike me, Geering hasn't left the church. He thinks that it's inevitable that in the future the whole Christian church will move to embrace the environmental movement, and begin to act on earth as responsible custodians of the planet. Geering is disappointed that this didn't happen 20 years ago, when it seemed a possibility, at least here in NZ.
