If you want to work with Church outreach, why not work towards one of the sub-orders or consider going to seminary?

Attend church, ask priest questions. Do the same for whatever other confessions of faith you're curious about, it's not like it'll kill you.

But if you don't come back to the Church at the end, I'll find you and kill you. :)

also, how much of the Fathers have you read? That's a pretty important source of information, and especially so if you're considering ministry.

Begome Eastern Gadolig.

Which protestant groups are you talking about?

You should not go with a denomination because it 'feels right,' but because it has the authority of God behind it by His word which I would say applies broadly to most of reformed Christendom.

He may already be saved, but just in the wrong church muh man.

Meet with your priest, and tell him you need to talk. Find a day when you can spend at least a few hours with him, and before going there, spend an afternoon writing down all the issues and troubles you are experiencing in your life, what you do believe you are called from God to be and do.

Then go, and together with your priest, try to discern what is your call and why you're having those issues.

Like you wouldn't say "begum ordodox :DDD" if the situation was the opposite :P

Unbiblical heresy

>>540805

I'm feel a strong pull at times towards Calvinism (and to a lesser extent Lutheranism). In fact I've been reading the Institutes of the Christian Religion. However you may feel about Calvin, his logic is hard to refute.

>>540906

My conversion/interest in Christianity was inspired by Prots I knew. Also I find Protestant theology interesting and I find the idea of the invisible Church sensible.

anglicans believe in faith alone according to article X11

As soon as you're done reading the institutes you should go for it my man.

What are some good Calvinist churches?

>>541042

Why would Calvinists even have churches? You're either elect or you're not and there's nothing you can do about it either way. So, there's no reason to go to church, repent, or obey God's laws.

>>541051

Do you actually think that's what Calvin and other like-minded reformers taught? Calvin elaborated greatly on the idea of the Christian life. Although it is not necessary for our salvation, it is our duty as Christians to serve God to the fullest extent. It is an abandonment of our will for the will of God. Just because you read your nihilistic tendencies into your feeble understanding of Calvinist theology does not make it so.

>>541042

Well I'm a reformed Baptist, but traditional Presbyterianism is essentially the church of Calvin.

If you live in the US then look into either the Presbyterian Church in America (www.pcaac.org), The Association of Reformed Baptist Churches of America (www.arbca.com), or even many Southern Baptist Churches are moving towards a more Calvinist mode of ministry.

But look out for The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) as they are a very liberal denom.

Baptists believe you can't drink alcohol at all? Really?
