Reform Judiasm I always have been and I always will be.

Raised Catholic, but have gone to Episcopal Church for nearly three years; like it much better.

I'm so excited all these other Catholics are looking into the Episcopalian Church. I've become so fed up with Burke's new doctrines and the Pope's pretty much endorsing them, that I just feel like I have no place in the church anymore.

I am an Orthodox Christian, specifically under the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Church.

Geeky Penguin, in your studies, have you ever looked at Orthodox Christianity? Up until a few years ago, Orthodoxy actually considered the Anglican Church to be more doctrinally close to us than Catholicism. Many Catholics are converting to Orthodoxy, especially now that the Greek/Antiochian/Russian/Coptic churches in the US are much more welcoming of people who aren't that particular ethnicity. You might be surprised at what you find when you take a closer look.

Born and raised Catholic in New Orleans, LA! I go to church here in Oxford, MS now and then.

I'm Jewish...specifically, Conservative Jewish. (Conservative here has nothing to do with political beliefs though! )

I was much more religious in high school than I am now.

Once you go Jewish, you never go back.

Raised Presbyterian (PCUSA). Became Catholic my senior year of college. There's more of us than you think - with the media ragging on the Pope and others serious about their Catholic faith you'd think the church was on the verge of disintegrating. Not even close.

Mom and Dad are both PCUSA elders. Let's just say my decision to answer the Catholic call made it clear they were not nearly as "open minded" as they like everyone to believe.

Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA). Since so many people say, "I've seen the church buildings but don't know what C&MA is" here ya go:

The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) is an evangelical denomination with a major emphasis on world evangelization. It maintains a “big tent” stance in reference to many doctrinal matters, encouraging believers of diverse backgrounds and theological traditions to unite in an alliance to know and exalt Jesus Christ and to complete His Great Commission.

Doctrinal Statement

I've decided on a totally different life path and will be attending the C&MA seminary in Nyack, New York starting Spring 2005. I'm pursuing my Master's in Divinity - a three year program - sounds a little scary to me though!

ETA: I was baptised Methodist a long time ago.

Roman Catholic...but I sin all the time and I quit going to confession long ago.

Raised in a Congrengational church (United Church of Christ), then at college went to a Prysbeterian church, Methodist church, and a Lutheran church while I tried to find a church that held my beliefs. I now am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and have found it. I know there are a ton of similarities to Catholicism...this quote i've always found interesting:


"Many years ago a learned man, a member of the Roman Catholic Church, came to Utah and spoke from the stand of the Salt Lake Tabernacle. I became well acquainted with him, and we conversed freely and frankly. A great scholar, with perhaps a dozen languages at his tongue's end, he seemed to know all about theology, law, literature, science, and philosophy. One day he said to me: "You Mormons are all ignoramuses. You don't even know the strength of your own position. It is so strong that there is only one other tenable in the whole Christian world, and that is the position of the Catholic Church. The issue is between Catholicism and Mormonism. If we are right, you are wrong; if you are right, we are wrong; and that's all there is to it. The Protestants haven't a leg to stand on. For if we are wrong, they are wrong with us, since they were a part of us and went out from us; while if we are right, they are apostates whom we cut off long ago. If we have the apostolic succession from St. Peter, as we claim, there was no need of Joseph Smith and Mormonism; but if we have not that succession, then such a man as Joseph Smith was necessary, and Mormonism's attitude is the only consistent one. It is either the perpetuation of the Gospel from ancient times, or the restoration of the Gospel in latter days.""
