Starting with a brief history of the evolution of Christianity, from St. Augustine’s original sin, Calvin's approach during the Reformation and then Puritanism, our American Christian  religion has been influenced mainly by the negative father archetype (shame, judgment and rejection/exclusion). Putting it all back together is how Pittman sees the real purpose of religion. Living the archetype of the Wounded Healer after an accident that happened when he was six years old, Pittman believes the religious nature of the psyche is to heal and reunite what has been estranged or alienated. This mp3 is a talk given by Pittman McGehee on 9-27-98 presented at The Women’s Institute in Houston, Texas.
