What this is

Following Imperfectly is a place for reading Scripture slowly, studying the Christian faith, and keeping a record of what I discover along the way.

"Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."Matthew 6:33

Scripture

Reading Scripture with notes gathered from study, historical context, the Church Fathers, and Church teaching.

Study

Structured studies through Scripture, theology, Church history, and the early Church.

Reading

Books I'm reading, passages I've kept, and the ideas they have led me towards.

Longer reflections shaped by Scripture, study, faith, and ordinary life.
