How strange the ways our lives influence the roads we follow. My family pseudo presbyterian, my brother now accepting his families "Apostolic" faith with vigor, my other brother off to Episcopal, and me still Presbyterian, tho I like the local congregationalist pastors sermons much better.<br /><br />The bit that challenges me is the tension between finding a church community one can serve in, vs a base theology/practice one can truely worship in, vs local church worship/study/group events that feed spiritual needs. I've not found all that so far.<br /><br />I actually most respect the Armenian Monophysite theology. The Eastern lean away from an emphasis on the "sacrificial lamb of God" and a greater concentration on the "way the truth and the life" challenges me.<br /><br />Right now I mostly look for a place with a good room for my toddler to play while I'm in worship! And one which sings hymns not approved by the United Nations. Hymns that worship rather than preach.<br /><br />Thanks for the christmas card! WHNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
