It's not my goal to be critical of the church, even if it seems that way. I have concerns and wounds that I wish to express, if for no other reason than to release them. I am not trying to make generalizations, I know there are a number of large churches out there that do not struggle with the issues that I have faced. Please know that I am speaking only from my own experience, and if you have had different experiences in a Megachurch, please share them with me.
I believe there are many more positive aspects of the church than there are negative ones, and I will spend time on that soon. In the process of reconstructing my faith into something that I can own, I feel the need to start with the reasons I am out-of-church for the time being. As I process, I believe I will be able to heal and become a participatory member of a church again.
I also will not fail to speak about smaller churches at some point, as well.
Thanks

I ran across this blog by accident, but I think it's great that you are taking a look at your faith and the church in general with a critical eye. I am a Christian more in the prophetic mode of social justice, and I for one welcome your views. Keep up the good work.
