When Eve and Eve Bit the Apple
nytimes.comWhen you are raised to be a good Christian girl, you don’t just go to church; you date the church. Church is the significant other with whom you spend weekends and evenings, the boyfriend whose friends become your friends, the girlfriend with whom you share all your dreams.
I was a really good Christian girl, so I didn’t just date the church; I married it. After graduating from a Midwestern college whose motto is “For Christ and His Kingdom,” I moved to New York City.
It was my first time out of the evangelical cocoon, and my priority was finding a church I could love, commit my life to, and make my spiritual and social center.
My search ended in Brooklyn, where I found a church of young creative people and fledgling professionals who, like me, were looking for a faith less burdened by fundamentalism.
