RE: A Struggle for Meaning and Purpose in Religion

I like the idea of Churches helping the communities that they are in and a lot of them do exactly that. While not a Christian myself I do volunteer at some of these things that help the less fortunate. I feel that being a member of a parish or whatever they are called can be extremely beneficial to a person because although I am sure there are some interior politics inside the operation of any religion, they do seem to be extremely welcoming to others.

There is one church near the home of the hostess of one of my D&D groups. She is very, very pagan with her own weird blend of ancient polytheism, superstition, and neo-paganism. I really think it's more aesthetic than spiritual for her, but I can't say for sure. In any case, the church down the road from her has at least earned her respect by just being a congregation of decent folks who offer to help. Will they ever convert her? Who knows? But they haven't pushed her away by being obnoxious like so many other churches seem to.
