spiritual discussionsThis is the place at AW for mamas to learn about all different religions and beliefs, to ask questions, to give answers- all done with respect! if you don't have anything nice to say here- don't say anything at all.
...and not doing a very good job. Most of the ones I look into lose me at some point during my first read of their website. I get intimidated because they seem so oppressive. FWIW, I believe in God, consider myself Christian, was raised Nazarene and Lutheran, my dad is Jewish and dh is a non-practicing Catholic.
Help? Where should I look?

Have you taken that little quiz at beliefnet? It's pretty cool, really.
I was raised Catholic, but am now Episcopalian. It's a very good fit for me - traditional liturgy combined with modern social justice work was the perfect combo for me.
What DO you want in a church?
What do you NOT want?

Pray, pray, pray..............and keep an open mind and heart.
We spent a very long time seeking a church to worship in. We visited quite a few.
I said to keep a open mind and heart because my dh and I had made a "list" of local churches to visit and the one we ended up feeling at home in was one that we had initially discriminated against and did not put on our "list". *lol*
God was bigger than our list and we found the place we feel He intended for us!!!
Pray and pray and pray................and be patient. It took us as a family two years.

Good advice, Michelle!
For me it's not about what I want in a church, but about finding the truth and what God wants for me. I also don't find it opressive but rather freeing to do what God knows is best for me.
