Intimate Conversations with the Other

Intimate Conversations with the Other

Samir Selmanovic writes,

An honest conversation about our religions is…an intimate endeavor.  Only when we believe the other is not there to hurt us – though they may struggle to understand us – can we begin to share not only the light but also the shadows of our religion.  To step into such conversations, we have to be ready to embrace the holy awkwardness that surrounds our God talk (It’s Really All About God, XVI).

Reflect on some of the intimate conversations you’ve had about faith and God.  What allowed you to be open and honest and vulnerable about your own thoughts and feelings?  What held you back?
