I grew up attending a Southern Baptist Church. I loved it: the stories, the songs .. I felt really special when I joined the church by baptism and was able to take communion with a select few. When I began to question some of the teachings. I was told that I must have faith and I must not question. My parents came from Disciples and Methodist backgrounds. I feel sure that if my parents had taught me those teachings, I would be thinking more like Rick Warren.

Well said, after all there is “the priesthood of all believers.”
Grateful on multiple levels for your wisdom here
