this is iin reply to jeni's letter. i am not a catholic, ii'm an anglican. i've been in association wth the catholic church for about fouur years so ii'm familiar but i don't really know alot about it. and although jesus youuth is a catholic movement, i feel that as a young christian i am a "jesus youth". and no, i don't thnk that the bible is just a whole lot of symbolic stories. i believe the bible is "the word of God". and yes, if you believe that Jesus christ died for you, shed his blood for your sins, and rose up from the dead on the third day, and if you beleve that He is Your savour, in faith, you are saved. in Jesuus, sheril
