In Lancaster County, there are two primary ways of religious expression: Conservative American Evangelicalism or non-practicing, non-religious. I am neither of these two things. I am a practicing religious Christian and I am not a conservative evangelical. Sometimes I feel that I have more in common with non-practicing peers than with my religious friends. There are a few progressive mainline churches, even within the Mennonite community. But these are not the most prominent religious identification in the county. First, I intend to unpack some things about the religious community.
