The C of E certainly seems to me less 'fundamentalist' than many branches of Christianity, but even they (or 'we' since I profess to be a member!) require belief in the Atonement for our sins of Christ the Redeemer, and surely my vicar would be a bit miffed to say the least if he knew I didn't fully buy into that doctrine. I have many other doubts and misgivings, for example the Virgin Birth, and I hope that LH and others here are right in saying that questioning and reflection on doctrine is a good thing and not a bad mark for me in God's eyes. I heartily endorse the views expressed here that compassion, kindness and gentle understanding such as Jesus showed are the most important things. (I do hope our vicar doesn't visit Mudcat and recognise who I am by my posts. If so, it's 'The Comfy Chair' for me!) (Monty Python)
