Unless your righteousness....

Today I spent several hours with some deeply spiritual folks. While I sat with them, I heard them discuss the challenges of homeschooling their children, the importance of maintaining close familial ties, the best ways to engage the larger culture with their beliefs, and even how to allow their children to participate in the rites of their faith while still being respectful to other worshippers. I felt right at home. After all, these are all issues that are important to me and that I wrestle with from time to time. These were folks who want to integrate their faith into every area of their lives, just like me. Except they weren't like me. They were Pagans.
