Re: Crisis of faith-iness

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I say relaxed in that they gave no fucks if you came to church in jeans and a T-shirt, and I think they actually left the general conference over its stance on gays, but I still just get the heebs over call-and-response prayers and even the lord's prayer at the end...something about unison-speak just hits my ear in uncomfortable ways. And I'm no longer in the same town as that particular church.

But thanks for your comments. Particularly reassurances on the "theater" of what I'm hearing (that's mostly not from people in that church, but people I knew outside of it, many of whom have "found God" within the last few years.

Yiiiiiiiiiiiikes I would get the heebie jeebies over the call-and-response thing too (gave me the creeps at my granddad's funeral - he was Anglican - not the hippie Anglicans the other ones with the druid outfits and the whole creepy chanting). Not something my church would do, but my church has its own special problems, so I can't recommend it, unfortunately. (We're still Anabaptist, technically, but no longer a Peace Church, which breaks my heart.)

Glad my comments resonated. As for those who say they "found God"? If they had, truly, they wouldn't be talking about it. They would take up their own crosses, and follow Him. Read your Bible, read widely (read every translation you can get your hands on - the Internet is great for this - even the wacky ones), pray often (have conversations with God - there's a reason "the Lord's prayer" is referred to as the MODEL prayer -- see also what Jesus had to say about "vain repetitions"), and just generally...relax? Feeling like you're "doing faith wrong" (or having someone tell you you're doing faith wrong), is doing faith wrong, IMO.
