  • Kristen Sherrold grew up in an evangelical christian community that shaped the way she thought about love.

  • But then she graduated from college and moved to New York City.

  • Her ideas about love and faith were thrown into chaos.

  • Her essay is read by Rachel Weiss, who produces and stars in the new film Disobedience.

  • When you were raised to be a good christian girl, you don't just go to church, you date the church.

  • Church is the significant other with whom you spend weekends and evenings, the boyfriend whose friends become your friends, the girlfriend with whom you share all your dreams.

  • I was a really good christian girl, so I didn't just date the church, I married it.

  • After graduating from a midwestern college whose motto is for Christ and his kingdom, I moved to New York City.

  • It was my first time out of the evangelical cocoon, and my priority was finding a church I could love, commit my life to, and make my spiritual and social center.

  • My search ended in Brooklyn, where I found a church of young, creative people and fledgling professionals who, like me, were looking for a faith less burdened by fundamentalism.

  • We forged a quick camaraderie, including with our pastor, who was as much friend and peer as spiritual leader.

  • We hung out in the pews on Sundays, but also in bars and each other's living rooms throughout the week.

  • Soon, this congregation became my beloved.

  • I took my membership vows and began leading a Bible study, teaching Sunday school, attending weekly planning meetings, and signing up for countless other duties.

  • I committed to this church with the vigor and joy of a new bride.
