Today, I went to a new church with a friend. He asked I attend with him, so I figured, why not? I attend a church near me fairly regularly, but I'm not going to be the reason for someone else to not go to church :P. Especially when someone feels the need.
It was definitely an interesting experience. I really enjoyed the Pastor because he was academic and shared intelligence past the Bible. I would definitely consider going to this church again, except... I'm Lutheran and not Episcopalian and I know from experience, I tend to feel like I'm cheating on my passed away grandmother when I go to a church not of the faith I was raised in, or the one of our family's traditions hearkening back more years than I can even begin to guess.
But it's definitely a church I'll go along with at various times, just to see what this Pastor has to say about things. I'm not sure I loved the traditional service, which goes for any denomination. I much more enjoy contemporary services, so that will also take part in my decision to stay where I'm at. But still! It was an enjoyable experience to try a new place of worship and find that I enjoyed what the Pastor had to say, even if the traditionalism was a bit restrictive for me. I found something new to take part in when the feeling arises to do so.
