My charade lasted a month. Just before a meeting, Jessica, one of my new friends, mentioned that she'd seen my picture in The Daily Tar Heel . I told her that it had been taken at a pro-choice rally. Christians can't be pro-choice. Later, I asked one of Arnie's assistants.
Abortion is wrong.
A week later, I wrote a letter to The Daily Tar Heel saying that God didn't care about your political beliefs. Shortly after that, I ran into Susan, another Waymaker friend, at the laundry. She told me that I should change my beliefs if they didn't square with the Bible. As much as my friends from Waymaker tolerated my dissent, they made it clear I had to change. Still, I stayed with the group.
