For Sunday morning

Henry's Sunday Reading pick is this interesting Christian Century interview with Carolinas author Ron Rash. A sample:

I go to a Presbyterian church. I grew up Southern Baptist. When I married my Presbyterian wife, I decided I would be­come a Presbyterian. I wrote to my Bap­tist church in North Carolina to re­lease me, and they wouldn’t do it. So I am still a Baptist, at least on paper, I guess. The Presbyterians seem OK with it. They let me take communion. They don’t make me wear a scarlet B. 

Church is important to me. I enjoy the quietness and the seriousness. I have al­ways been a renegade in terms of orthodoxy. I am not a particularly good Pres­byterian or a good Baptist. Probably the only statement I am comfortable in making about my relationship to religion is that there is something in me that yearns for transcendence. I have my doubts, plenty of them, but belief always seems to win out.
