It can sometimes be so difficult to try to explain why we are angry but you have done it, and very eloquently.<br /><br />MichelleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533444400637602329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926891106758008587.post-63404298345130710692011-05-20T15:52:55.669-04:002011-05-20T15:52:55.669-04:00Doug, what a wonderful world it would be if we cou...Doug, what a wonderful world it would be if we could all be so open with each other. I respect and understand how you feel but when i read your wonderful statement i realized what it was that struck me...i see Jesus in you...the Jesus who on the cross cried out"My God , My God why have You abandoned me".

Because of a family rift we didn't meet until we were in our 40s. <br /><br />Our side of the family are atheists, but it didn't stop us welcoming Doug into our family with all the love and hugs we could muster. <br /><br />Doug has been an incredible gift to my mother and me. A better, kinder person does not exist, nor one who fights so passionately for justice and fairness and a better world for all. <br /><br />It's sad, and somewhat incomprehensible to me (and probably to Doug), that the side of our family who go to church 'religiously', spend their time at Bible study and pull out their credit cards when it's time to tithe could not have cared less about welcoming this lost sheep back into the family fold. It's their enormous loss, of course, but it does seem passing strange.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926891106758008587.post-24387212688220584732011-05-20T01:31:34.065-04:002011-05-20T01:31:34.065-04:00You indeed do have a lot of courage and speak from...You indeed do have a lot of courage and speak from the heart. This is the type of dialogue we need to engage in if we are ever to understand one another.<br /><br />It is indeed sad that Church of the discipline era inflicted so much damage on our fellow human beings. It should be a time for reconciliation and healing.<br /><br />CliffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926891106758008587.post-12798272598120412582011-05-19T22:22:17.444-04:002011-05-19T22:22:17.444-04:00Thank you Doug for taking the time, effort and gre...Thank you Doug for taking the time, effort and great care to so beautifully communicate such an important message!
