As someone raised in an environment that was centered around religion (commune-style, basically), I often worry about how our secular environment will develop as the religious underpinnings of our culture fade away. Our approach to long-term relationships is one thing that sometimes worries me, as is our approach to community-forming. But as an optimist and a fan of change - change in general, even if it's sometimes bad - I'm really excited to be living in a time where we are free to rediscover and rebuild our world. I hope we can figure out how to keep the things that worked, and find replacements for the things that didn't.
