Bruce Steele says he's been on a geographical pilgrimmage. He left Niagra Falls, Canada, making stops in Oregon and California before settling in Spokane.
On each leg of his journey he says he's distanced himself from the Christian fundamentalism that he grew up. Today he attends New Community and has a strong interest in soul care and Christian mysticism.
