God is Dead (or: I Kissed a Nun and I Liked It) with Keri Seymour

Reclaiming the Garden

In this episode, we have a conversation with Keri Seymour, a multi-hyphenate human who currently lives in London who acted as Anna’s coming out sounding board. Keri tells the story of her difficult Catholic adolescence and her time spent in a convent (where yes, she did indeed kiss a nun), and she talks about the questions she had about Jesus and God that ultimately led to her taking on the belief that if any being created the world, they’re not really “here” anymore. We believe, as progressive Christians, that it is important to listen to Keri and others who have found wholeness leaving faith entirely, because it keeps us from falling into the cliche of telling people, “well you just haven’t found the real Jesus, that was human religion, but you should try out my affirming church.” If people are happy and whole where they are, we should celebrate that.
