It is time for a sensible and compassionate theology to challenge the rigid and literal claims of the conservative church. Jesus did not call us to the creeds, but into an inclusive theology that honors initiative over initiation. Conscience stretching symbols lie beneath the literal reading of the text.

About the Author
I was born into the Pentecostal faith and converted to academic principles without losing sight of God. This makes me uniquely qualified to describe a faith immune to scientific onslaught and tangible enough to be a purposeful hand on the shoulder during times of personal crisis. As a child, inconsistency between Christmas promises and Christmas realities caused me to lose faith in a man who lived at the North Pole. Inconsistency between Easter promises and Easter realities caused me to lose faith in a man who lived in Heaven. I easily and comfortably adapted to the notion that Santa Claus was a grasping for human ideals expressed through metaphor. Patiently, I waited for adults to share a similar meaning of Easter without the impossible distractions of physical miracles. When it never happened, I decided to tell the story myself.
