ABSTRACT
In Chapter 6, the author describes five aspects of his previous faith he has been persuaded, after careful thought and reflection, to leave behind. This discussion and the discussion of the final chapter of the book are presented as an extended illustration of how stances of religious faith and the beliefs accompanying these stances can undergo changes – and sometimes radical changes – as they are subjected to ongoing personal experiences, reflections, and choices. These two chapters are not presented in the spirit of advocacy but of sharing, showing how the central themes of this book have affected one person’s life of faith.
