If you are one of the three people that has been reading this blog for the past few months, thank you. Thank you very much. The mood of the party is going to change a little bit from here on out. I’ve mentioned before that I’m living in Seattle, Washington and I’m trying to figure life out. In the meantime, I have been thinking a lot about the state of the Indian Pentecostal church. I do not mean my personal church in Seattle or my former home church in Portland, Oregon. I mean Church. Capital C. The Body of Christ, etc.

I’ve noticed a trend with a lot of young people in discussions both private and public. There is a serious distrust and hatred against the Capital C Church because of the lower-case Indian Pentecostal Church. I want this space to be a place where we can openly discuss issues within the faith community known as Indian Pentecostal Christians and maybe even begin to address what might be happening here.

I started this as a personal blog and from time to time, I’ll continue to write about my personal life because as much as I want there to be open dialogue that includes young and old people, I’m hecka pretentious. If you’re new here and you poke around a bit, you’ll notice that I may have some views that don’t fit in with the mainstream Pentecostals. Hence the name Independent.

This brings me to my last point. I think what I’m trying to say is that there is a space where Independent Pentecostals (not a denomination) regardless of ethnic identity or gender can come into if they see repression in the mainstream Indian pentecostal church or excesses in the Western model. In any case, let’s continue the conversation!

Visit often. I plan on making this a daily thing.
