In living into this year's theme of the power of personal public narrative, each month, we will pose a new prompt to hear from our Kaufman community directly.
For October, we asked you to share about a time when you felt your religious, secular, or spiritual beliefs or practices were misunderstood. Here is one of the answers from our Kaufman community:
There are any number of rooms I enter into where I know I am assumed to be Christian. I have no visible symbols that I wear to suggest otherwise, on top of which I am a white cis woman in West Michigan, a part of the country and the state where Christianity is a fairly safe assumption the majority of the time for someone who presents as I do. So, I guess it's less that I feel actively misunderstood and more that I feel unseen in my nature-based spirituality.
