Dear Steve:
As for me, I'd be interested in reading more about the faith of a worker at
SLAC. If you have time, would you please give us a little of your own
pilgrimage, and how your work relates to it?
Christianity is relational, and I've noticed that most of the messages on
this list are too impersonal. I would be honored to get acquainted with you.
I think we all would.
(In fact, for those of you who are doing a lot of writing here, I would
appreciate any additional information about how you came to believe, where you
work, your family, your church, or any other personal data (but not too
personal). Let's get acquainted before we end up flaming each other.)
