The gospel offers the thinnest of thin places: "Since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water." (Hebrews 12: 22-23). OPB runs several programs that mention the thin places and several religious groups in Oregon are up on them.

That's kinda cool. My pastor back home in NM who planted a church in Washington years ago, is of the opinion that NM and the PNW have much in common regarding spiritual history and spiritual present - including the 'weird' stuff. I was always enchanted by NM, I hope Washington is the same... Ryan H Nathan,
