It is all about "we"

I think this is why we at House for All Sinners and Saints sometimes say we are religious but not spiritual.  Spiritual feels individualistic and escapist... but to be religious is to be human in the midst of other humans who are as equally messed up and obnoxious and forgiven as ourselves.
