Mr. Fun - check out the UCC. Our interim minister before we got a permanent settled minister was a lesbian, for crying out loud!

Why do you feel the need, exactly, to join a denomination in order to affirm your faith in Jesus Christ and/or Yawae?
I mean, most (not all, of course) liberal Christians recognise the gnostic gospels on some level, and they seem to clearly state that no formal denomination is required to live a Christian life. What's your take on that?"I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?" -Frank Zappa

If I decide to become actively faithful, I think I will find the Episcopal denomination to be best for me.

For years now, I have felt that I could believe in God and Jesus without belonging to any Christian denomination.
But the past couple of months, something was gnawing at me -- I think I feel incomplete, because I have not found some meaningful, active way to affirm my beliefs.
This is where denominations come in -- people who feel they need to actively affirm and express their beliefs often look for a denomination within their religion that is most comfortable for them.
I do not believe in any "wrong" denomination, or any "wrong" religion. I think the point is that however you believe in God, he would want you to express your belief in him in the best way that is possible for you to show your love for him.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

I agree Mr Fun
denominations are not required, but they are often beneficial in our walk with God

There was no option for those who are Christian (like myself), but have opted out of churches in general never feeling that they could really fit in anywhere for now because it seems that churches have all lost the plot and have almost become like a bunch of little cults everywhere and always wanting money and making empty promises and they need to get back to the basics of what Jesus actually said on the sermon on the mount.Avoid COLONY RUSH on Galactic Civlizations II (both DL & DA) with my Slow Start Mod.

Within the church of England(angilican) there are variations form the low church lot who think the puritans had too much fun all the way to the high church lot who would be Roman Catholic if the pope would apologise for not allowing Henry VIII to divorceSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

The less authority, the better. So if I were to choose, Protestantism for me.
