About This Quote
Faith, the least exclusive club on Earth, has the craftiest doorman. Every time I've stepped through its wide-open doorway, I find myself stepping out on the street again. Faith is something that is always changing. It's like a revolving door where you can get in, but can't get out.
When you feel trapped in your faith, you may feel like you're stuck forever. However, when you begin to look at faith in this way; it's not about never leaving your faith, but rather understanding what is working for you and what's not. Sometimes it's about stepping outside of yourself and looking at what other people are doing in their faith.
Instead of being scared of someone else's faith being different from yours, it might be good to learn about what they are doing so that when they teach you something new you don't have to learn it all over again when you come back to your faith.
