text: You and I would have no problem in sharing a prayer Bill.    We both understand at least some of the language of the Christian church.  
  
  Your use of the 'Holy Spirit' is great.  A non-Christian would just hear that and say more 'magic mumbo jumble'.  That same person may sit quietly and meditate for a half hour!!!   We share a common objective  of love/peace, but it's  lost to the imperfection of verbal, or written messages.
  
  In a past church class it was asked: 'What would happen if all bibles were suddenly gone from the planet?"   Most folks tried to think of ways to rewrite the same bible.   
  
  I said, if the Bible represents basic truths for human growth and expansion of our kingdom (the reach of our love for others), then through the Spirit, those truths would again become self-evident and revealed to modern people in a new way.
  
  Not sure what you think Bill, but I have a big mental/emotional separation between my Christian Faith and the theological choices of some Churches
