Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I agree with the make shit up as you go sentiment.
Piece of advice if you want it. Organised religion tends to go south. Feel free to pursue your practice alone or with a few friends
Thanks for the thought - we did a little of this over the last few years but it wasn't working for us. One of the more important parts of religious practice for both of us is the communal aspect, and as we live in a mid-size city in the Southern U.S. there aren't very many opportunities outside of a church setting for strong, long-term community building. Not saying there aren't any, but it's difficult to build a strong network when third places have essentially disappeared. The Episcopal Church is working for us, at least right now, as a place to build those networks and practice our faith without having to compromise on moral stances that are critical to us.
