I know we've talked about books before. You can search "books" on the main site and it will take you to our previous discussions. But I don't think I've asked you this question: What is the #1 book of all time that totally blew your mind, broke your heart, changed...
David Hayward, Women’s Stories, and Me
So...lucky enough to have a Skype conversation with David today. Always invigorating. Always challenging. Always reminds me that I'm sane. I'm grateful. We caught up. We shared stories. We commiserated. We talked of our endless desires, his and mine. Mine? To somehow...
Why I am here and where am I going?
I joined Lasting Supper to continue my spiritual journey and to find an accepting community within which to do so. Not knowing exactly how to begin, I’ve been reading other’s posts and thinking a lot about what I wanted to say. So in trying to decide how to start I...

What if we thought for ourselves?
Thinking for ourselves is difficult. It is hard work. It takes time and energy. This is why we seldom do it. Let me give you an example: Julian Assange. My initial opinion of him was that he is a brave and visionary man who changed the flow of information in our...
Leaving your religion (helpful resource)
James Mulholland used to be a pastor (Quaker and Methodist), and he had written (or co-written) several books at that time on Christian universalism that were very helpful to me in my own journey away from my fundamentalist background. I recently discovered that he...
