hell my name is Michael Thompson and I live in the suburbs of our nation's capital in Mitchellville, MD. I have not participated in one of Dr. Wilson's bible studies in 4 or 5 years but have always found them enriching. I am looking forward to deepening my relationship with the Lord thru this study on the book of Daniel.
Q1. Culture Change
in 1. Four Hebrew Youths in Babylon (Daniel 1)
Posted
Q1. (Daniel 1:1~5) Have you ever made a rapid transition between your customary and a new and radically different culture? What did it feel like? Were you able to take your faith with you, or did it fade to the background during this time?
Yes, I work as a hospital administrator and 5 years ago, with the exception of me the entire administrative team was let go and a new administrative team was put in place. I had worked for my employer for 23 years and had to adjust to new leadership. This new team is led by a homosexual CEO and all new administrative hires are gay. The culture is very different from anything I have ever experienced. Gay and Female is the new "affirmative action" preference. I am very much an outsider because I refuse to acquiesce to any of the gay rights banter that has become prevalent, I feel like a foreigner but my faith has not wavered.
