My way of trying to encounter God within a church community may well be poison for others. We all bring our backgrounds with us. We're all running from something. For instance, I know several people raised in the Orthodox Church who have fled to evangelical communities and found God there, or at least found a happier version of themselves. I know other people who share my sort of religious background and they can only find spiritual solace in gatherings of atheists. More power to them! We are all recovering from what we've experienced in captivity to ourselves.
