[4/1997 journal entry] Is the word ‘Christian’ so restricted to or nuanced by the ‘religious’ sphere that I am not a ‘Christian’ (though I am definitely a student of ‘Jesus’)? Being the sort of person who can be genuinely with another person is my center for being in this world and the basis for my being a student of ‘Jesus’. I do not accept the traditional Christian mandates re exclusivity and evangelism.
