if you had to be in another religion or denomination

Postby postodave » August 13th, 2008, 5:54 pm

Question 1 - Christian, Anglican - combination of evangelical, liberal, catholic and charismatic
Question 2 - Sufi. My daughter says this is only because I did Richard Thompson.
Question 3 - Eastern Orthodox but I would not want to be a convert or Quaker
Question 4 - Jehovah's Witness. Lewis says that in the depths of grief it crossed his mind that there is a God but he is cruel. After submerging myself in JW writing it crossed my mind that there is a God but he has no taste at all.
So I drew my sword and got ready
But the lamb ran away with the crown

Intriguing questions, Adam Linton.

1. Christian, Lutheran Church Missouri Synod

2. Vajrayana Buddhism (their mystics)

3. Greek Orthodox

4. With due respect to them, anything in Christianity from the Reformed traditions or the Great Awakenings. I treat Luther as an ingenius Catholic: even the churches in his name are too divergent for me. Outside of my general religious group, Islam would be a very difficult language of thought for me to speak.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.
