Linda and Scott

"Nobody would talk to me -- for FOUR years." -- Linda Stiles

Linda and Scott both grew up in Christian churches, but no longer attend. They found me on my website, wanting to recognize the presence of God in their ceremony but not getting too "churchy."

Scott had been raised in a mainline church but asked "too many questions" about the faith to suit his congregation.

When he continued to ask challenging questions, he was chastised for his "lack of faith." Scott decided Christianity was too narrow and even Jesus too restrictive. He quoted Jesus in Matthew seven, saying, "But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
