The Fly
I was just curious about what denomination's (or non-denominations) are represented among Christians here. Have you been part of one all of your life, or have you chosen a church for other reasons.
I was raised United Methodist and still attend that church, more because that's where my other family members attend than any philosophies, etc. that set it apart from other denominations. I admit I don't know a lot about the various branches of Protestant religion and what sets them apart. I tend to see their arguments as petty differences.
I'm about to move and will be looking to find a new church. I could easily just go to any other UM church but I'm curious about what else is out there, and if it really matters. I'd like to be part of a church that's not sleeping, but active in the community the way Jesus was active in the lives of others. I'm so impressed with the integrity and faith of some of you in this forum. So many of the beliefs shared here echo my own, even though I feel I couldn't put them into words so eloquently. I guess I'm curious to know if it has anything to do with your background or if it's just a willingness to seek things out for yourselves.
