These are some very personal ideas on religion. I include them here to let students and whoever else is interested learn some important things about who I am. The inclusion of them on my website, along with instructional materials, is not meant to suggest that these are necessary ideas for a social worker or for any of my students. They are, however, central to my being the social worker and teacher that I am. I invite your comments either personally or through e-mail. My address is jsanborn@mtsu.edu.
