About this ebook
There were a million reasons to leave. But she didn’t.
Faith deconstruction—asking questions and finding that religion doesn’t do a good job of answering them—has become a well-documented phenomenon within Christianity. Studies show that people are leaving the church. Accusations loom large in faith communities.
Andrea L. Lingle didn’t leave. She had a million reasons to leave: grief, deconstruction, cynicism, disillusionment . . . but, she can still find a church bulletin in her purse most days. Credulous is a walk through the different movements of a traditional Christian worship service bulletin to wonder aloud, why? Why is she still here? What does she have to say, as a woman, mother, lay-person? And Credulous asks, what might you have to say?
