b'My guest this week is Erin. Erin is working toward her chaplaincy and her Master\'s degree in Practical Theology. She describes herself as \\u201creligious, but not spiritual.\\u201d Erin grew up in Northern Ireland. She was raised to respect all people. But when she was accepted by an Evangelical Presbyterian church she became in her words \\u201cthe worst kind of fundamentalist.\\u201d This included deriding Catholics. At University she excelled and found herself attracted to more liberal theologies. She says she went from Evangelical to an Open Theist to a functional atheist (agnostic). Erin also happens to be on the Autism spectrum. This had an impact on her inability to accept things on faith. She needed logical consistency. But Erin still finds value in the Christian tradition. She plans to do good in the world as a chaplain. Links and recommendations Doubts and Loves by Richard Holloway
