“How does that make you feel?” As a Clinical Pastoral Education graduate, I’ve been asked that question more than a few times. It never set well with me. but it’s a fair enough question when one resigns a pastoral position after only 19 months. It doesn’t make the question any more welcome — or any easier to answer.

Memories are filled with “crossroads, zigzags and benchmarks” and a sculpture in southern Maryland allows me to walk that path inside my head in a tangible way, to exorcise the pain of difficult memories and be immersed in the blissful ones.

If the words “faith” and “religion” are unclear, the words “science” and “evolution” are vastly more so. Attempting to speak of “science” as a monolithic institution is a foolhardy endeavor. That one word covers such a range of disciplines that greater clarity is essential to avoid saying something absurd.
