Greetings everyone.

I am brand new to the forums and just wanted to introduce myself. I have been a Christian for about 11 years now. I have visited and attended a lot of churches since I first excepted Christ. Though I have been a Christian for this long period of time I still consider myself a babe in Christ because I have not been able to define myself by finding a “home church” . Every church I go to I seem to find something that rubs me the wrong way doctrine wise. I am praying that I can find peace with this issue in the future.

Half of my youth I went a small church (can’t remember the name I was pretty young) and then my father married a Catholic and we became a part of the Catholic church. I have since left the Catholics in my teen years and have been on a search for truth ever since. I have in my search fallen into a couple cults (but it didn’t take me long to see the anti-biblical teaching and to leave them) and a period where I no longer even went to church because I felt so hurt by the infighting of all the denominations. I have just recently started going back to church and have found a small Southern Baptist church that I have really enjoyed, but again have found problems that my mind has a hard time excepting.

I know this is a weird way to say hi to all of you, but I felt if fair to let you know where I am spiritually. I look forward to the discussions that will transpire on these forums and hope to be able to have some fellowship with you my brothers and sisters.

In Christ,
Kricket

i was raised an evangelical, became a catholic in my 20's and currently go to an episcopalian church, which i love

i may go back to rome, not sure but for now i love anglican church

i know what you mean about feeling uncomfortable, i almost have a phobia about churches

one of the things i like about anglicans is they are united around prayers and ancient creeds and dont have a doctrine per se like most churches, it is a lot more inclusive everything from reformed to evangelicals to liberals to catholics
