It’s nice to meet everyone. I guess technically I am not Christian yet, because I am still taking RCIA/OCIA classes and have not yet been baptized. Hopefully by Easter Vigil I can live up to the faith named in my profile! It’s nice to see that there’s a dedicated forum for discussing Christianity. I hope I can have lots of interesting conversations and learn even more about the faith here. Thanks for having me :)

A little about myself:
  1. I am a “millennial”
  2. I enjoy knitting
  3. Before starting the process of conversion, I was raised fairly laxly in the Chinese folk religion/Buddhism combo
  4. My husband was a religious studies major in college and his studies led me to try to understand Christianity firsthand
  5. Broccoli is my favorite vegetable, hence my username

Welcome to CF.

I am also looking for a way out for traditional Chinese religions and have studied the way out of Buddhism from the perspective of Judaism. These two threads are for reference.

Those threads were very interesting. I think that the parallels between Christianity and other non-Christian religions can be used for outreach and common understanding. A lot of the same basic morality in this world is shared between everyone but humans love to reinvent the wheel…
