Asked self often this question lately, even as I've rolled dutifully out of bed each day. Or perhaps rolling out is the thing of the past. Perhaps the question now becomes the answer: Why bother with church. No question mark. People do leave church, more than a few times now I think of doing the same too. But deep in my heart I know I need to look deeper at what the church is really about. How to get out from scepticism to wholehearted participation in the church, and to weigh the church's human failings against its compelling excellencies as the body of Christ. I am a believer, but also a self-confessed non-belonger, if i could coin such a word. How to be a believing belonger I need to learn.
