I’ve been going to my local episcopal church for a few months now after having spent my whole life as a Pentecostal. I know that for a long time I’ve shared a lot of beliefs with the episcopal church, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with lgbt+ being Christian, I believe everything boils down to love God and love your neighbor and I believe the Bible can be interpreted many ways and as long as you believe Jesus is the one savior there’s always room for discussion.
However, now that I am here and people are agreeing with me and preaching those things I find it hard to agree? I don’t know if it’s because I was so used to being combative before but it’s weird to hear such a relaxed (for lack of a better word) preaching. It feels not structured enough, not enough discipline, or emphasis on suffering for faith. Maybe it’s some weird religious trauma? I don’t know.
Basically did anyone else have this experience when starting? Feeling like they were taking an easy way out or being mad at that idea? I don’t know if this makes sense or is okay for this sub, I just thought I’d ask.
(And yes I plan to speak to my reverend when I have time to go.)
