I also want to re-read Stop Dating the Church because there's a lot in the book that I didn't absorb the first time, so I'm hesitant to explain the thoughts that I drew from the book. However, the short answer is that the most obvious change would be in what I would expect of myself and that is a greater commitment and sense of ownership in what goes on within the church. I think I'm going to have to leave it at that for now, but I hope that give you an idea and I'll try to explain better in the future. Thanks for asking!

I appreciate that! I'm not avoiding your question, but I do want to contemplate it more before I explain, so I'm not going to reply right now but will soon. Thank you for asking. Thanks, Joanna.

What would it mean for you to become a member--how would what you expect of yourself, or what others expect of you, change? I know how this worked at the Quaker Meeting I joined but don't know how it works in your church. I'll also be thinking of you and praying for you as you find your way.

I still at times wish I could visit some other churhes for a while. It does help to give you a perspective about what you like, what you dont like, what we could change at our church, and what we do well. I will be interested in what you find at the end of your 7 weeks. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. We will miss you at church Nate, but I completely understand.
