I have numerous people who ask me about my religious beliefs. I
suppose because I am usually all over the place. Most my friends know
that I was a seminary student in my early life and that I now do an
internet Sunday service on my blog sites, often featuring one of my
professors in seminary, Walter Brueggemann. I suppose it is reasonable
that people wonder just exactly what it is that I do believe.
After
giving the question some thought, here's what I came up with: I'm half
Christian, one-forth Buddhist, and one-fourth Native American. This
probably still doesn't make a lot of sense to anyone, but luckily, it
does to me. So I have crosses with Christ on and off, statues of Buddha
and pictures of the Bodhi Tree where Buddha received enlightenment, and a
medicine wheel in the yard. It kind of all boils down to doing unto
others as I would have them do to me. That lesson shows up in every
religion. You don't need a whole lot more.
