Here we are, exactly one year since my last post. I stopped writing because, for a time, even thinking about the issues I’ve raised in earlier posts has seemed like too much effort. In the last year I have gained a second son and lost a church. At times I have felt truly post-faith, without even the residue of Christianity. But during many moments, I have also experienced a tentative desire to continue to follow Christ even if (maybe only if) he leads me out of Christendom never to return.

Is this the first of many new entries in this blog? I’m honestly not sure. But I’d like to restart an attempt to wrestle with my doubts and hopes in 2013. Watch this space (but not too eagerly).
