Ordained minister believes Christianity hinders her experience of God, Life, and Humanity.

"After living in China as a Christian missionary, hosting a two-year Bible study for seven curious Chinese freshman college students, my sense of curiosity inhaled and later exhaled when returning to the practice of western religion.

Born into a devoutly religious family, the daughter, niece, and grandchild of Christian clergy, degreed in Biblical Studies, ordained as a reverend of the faith, I now have questions of the religion that raised and readied me.

The emittance of questions and resolves thereof have done well in surrendering to me a choice: Christianity or curiosity?" -Chandrika D. Phea
