The Adaptive Philosophy Foundation is an interfaith foundation, not a Christian-only organization.
I am a Christian, raised Episcopalian. I grew up at All Saints Episcopal Church and Day School in Phoenix, Arizona, and I sang in the choir there as a kid. I now attend an Episcopal church in Olympia. I am open that I don't claim to know everything about Christianity or necessarily all the differences between denominations. I go because it is the church of my culture and family.
My personal beliefs come from my cultural background, and I am open and transparent about them. I don't believe in excluding anyone. I'm not sure what God and Jesus have to say. I go by the Bible and its stories, but I don't know for certain that the voices I hear inside myself are coming from Jesus or God. It seems like it is Jesus when I talk to him, but he doesn't tell me anything I should say in his name, and I don't necessarily know what Jesus thinks or wants. That's just my personal belief. That's also how I conceive of the creator: as creating everybody for a reason. I may be wrong; I'll ask Jesus to let me know if I'm saying something wrong, and I pray he does. But I don't believe in pushing beliefs on anyone, telling them they have to believe, or making them feel they must join or participate. It's open to everybody.
I think God is smart enough to understand that we could be confused. He didn't give very sharp, clear instructions about certain things. But he did say to love your neighbor, and those are my neighbors, so I'm going to love them like myself. We're not necessarily proclaiming what Jesus says or trying to have everybody follow what we believe. We simply hold those beliefs, and we'll share them if we feel like it and if others are open to it. But we're not trying to be preachers.
We welcome people of any faith, such as Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, and Buddhist, and we also welcome atheists and agnostics. Philosophy is open to people of all backgrounds.
Our guiding image is the Good Samaritan: help anyone who needs help, without checking who they are first. That ties to our focus on the least well-off person on the street.
Members are equal. As Director I set up websites and handle money, but I do not set anyone's beliefs.
