Holy Shit
I have now begun my descent into the airspace of The Actual Religious. Come next week I will be living with and working for Episcopalians through the Micah Project. Micah is part of the Episcopal Service Corps, and places interns (me) with area churches or non-profits (the Trinity Boston Foundation, in my case). We also live together, about 15 of us, in two houses in Brookline and Allston.
I expect this will be a weird experience for me, as I have just spent 4 years ignoring my own faith. I also expect it will be unusual to live among people who perhaps Practice What They Preach in terms of actually living like Christians. To be clear, I don’t mean abstaining from sex or alcohol or trying to stop people from marrying or aborting their fetuses (feti?), because that’s not who Episcopalians are. But for me, I tend to believe without following rules. I don’t really think Jesus would give a shit that I swear. But maybe these people will?
