Pete and Jared,

My name is Karl and I am a pastor in Central Texas (though I was born in Philly). My family has been so encouraged by your work. I have undergone a large scale deconstruction/reconstruction from conservative fundamentalism to a more faithful understanding of Christianity.

The trouble has been trying to align my career of ministry with my theological and social convictions. I was wondering if you could give me some guidance on places to search, openings to consider, or general advice. It has been challenges to be honest, but realize that being fully honest may cost me my career and salary.

Thanks again for your work and witness. You have both been a huge guide to me.

Karl Baker
