But in my early college years I got caught up in a very intolerant brand of Christian faith. On Idfferent Wednesday of my junior year, I went with Alan to a morning service. I had been feeling a bit stifled lately, or blocked.

Here was grace happening all around me, too obvious to deny, and I was letting theological hair-splitting keep me from celebrating it.
