Anne Rice says she has “quit being a Christian.” NPR ran an interview with her and she explained her decision: “I remain committed to Christ as always but not to being ‘Christian’ or to being part of Christianity.”
I have two thoughts in response. One, that part of remaining committed to Christ is remaining committed to Christ’s people, bumbling, bigoted, messy, sinful, people. Two, that sometimes when people leave the church they are offering prophetic words to those left on the inside.
I don’t agree with Anne Rice on every theological or social issue. But I believe she has acknowledged God as manifested through Christ, which means that we are members of the same family. I’m sad to see her go.
