Expanded life, life beyond finitude, is embraced. I am convinced that it is real. I will live as if that is so and be prepared for the next adventure that self-consciousness brings my way. The only place I can hold this conviction and prepare for what comes next is in a community of seekers. That is what I ultimately believe the church must be. So to that church with all its imperfections I cling, for that provides me with the place to touch and enter “the eternal.”
