If you did a degree in theology you did read critical Protestant theologians didn't you? They led the way in a critical interpretation of Scripture and did pioneering work in expanding the role of consciousness in theology.

Maybe "Conservative Evangelicals" have a single minded view
but in the '60's Protestants did some of the leading work in avant guard thinking.

There are also several theologians and writers who seek to take their Christian belief and have a greater understanding by studying other traditions, particularly Yoga, Tao and Zen.
Surely you have met some of these writers.
