    New Quiz to Help Find Right Christian Denomination!

    I got Episcopal 100% which is probably what I would be were I American. I also got Anglican Church in North America 97%. I haven't come across them but as an Anglican here in the UK I think I would probably find a lot of common ground with them. Very accurate in the first two. I got 91%...

    Do Pentecostals observe Lent?

    Hello all. Over here in Britain we have a tv channel that is currently doing a series of 5 minute shorts called 'Lent Diaries'. I saw my first one of these today. It was about a Pentecostal Christian athlete. Looking on the channels website they all seem to be about Pentecostal Christianity...

    Runners

    I'm a runner. However I have no idea if I'm doing it right or really what I'm doing so may not be much gel :-P

    Advice needed.

    Thanks for your reply. I am out of town this weekend but intend to go and look at one, or possibly two more gyms and then make a decision. The Gym near my work said there was a £20 joining fee. The gym near where I live didn't mention a joining fee at all.

    Advice needed.

    Cut a long story short, I have stress, anxiety and self esteem issues. I used to deal with these badly by drinking a lot. Now I deal with them better(I won't say well) by running. The problem while it's a stress reliever, I don't seem to be getting anywhere in terms of overall fitness. I'm...

    Mixed up about our church

    It's difficult to get a handle on what's going on here from what you describe. My church is very different to what your's sounds like. We are a small community of about 30-40. However even then there are people who I have barely spoken to and people who I know well. I am very shy which doesn't...

    Why does the Sabbath matter?

    Hello all. Please be aware I am asking this respectfully. I am not a troll and I am genuinely interested in your answers. I've just taken a 'What Denomination Are You' quiz and I came out Seventh Day Adventist which surprised me. I'm not sure that's accurate but it has prompted me to try and...

    Communion for those who can't or won't drink alcohol

    I'd just like people's thoughts on this. I currently drink so this isn't an issue. However I am considering becoming teetotal at least for Lent and possibly permanently. My regular church has an option of non alcoholic wine at communion. However, it isn't always possible for me to get to my...

    Sexual Morality Divide

    I've always viewed Anglo Catholics to be of more of a Conservative persuasion…. Perhaps this is something I should reconsider.

    Should LGBTs be allowed to be active church members?

    I've been reading the comments on here with interest. As far as the original question goesI think it should be up to each church. IU realise that most posters are from the USA and TEC is fairly liberal on this subject. It's a stance I wholeheartedly and passionately agree with as a member of the...

    Is science now a religion?

    I am finding your argument a little difficult to follow. Anti-Theists and atheists, as far as I can tell from the internet believe pretty much the same thing. Anti-Theists are active in promoting their ideology while other atheists believe what they believe and couldn't care less what anyone...

    Is science now a religion?

    Many theists would agree their claim that there's a God is unsubstantiated. Does that make these people atheist? Atheism, as I understand it, is the certain belief there is no God. If you don't believe in a God but you're open to the possibility one might exist, you are not, in my opinion, an...

    Is science now a religion?

    There are cases every day of people who are pronounced dead and then come back to life. Now you can argue these people are not actually dead(an argument I'd agree with) but you can just as easily argue, quite rationally, that these are cases of science raising the dead. As for your original...

    What does the phrase 'Modern Anglo-Catholic' mean to you?

    I understand the phrase 'Anglo-Catholic'. It's specifically the 'Modern' part of the phrase I'm asking about.

    What does the phrase 'Modern Anglo-Catholic' mean to you?

    This is just a query. I am looking into the possibility of switching churches. Theologically I stand more towards the liberal side of things on most issues but having said that, I do identify with some aspects of Anglo-Catholicism(which tend to be more towards the conservative end of the...

    Is it possible to practice both Buddhism and Christianity?

    Wow I never expected this to take off as it has. I would like to thank you all for your replies. I am still reading through them. Pretty much the day I posted this I then started having issues getting online which have(hopefully) now been resolved.

    Is it possible to practice both Buddhism and Christianity?

    Hello all. Let me tell you where I'm coming from and why I'm asking this… I am a Christian. I have no doubt God exists. I have no doubt the Bible is the word of God! HOWEVER… When it comes to denominations, this is where I struggle. I claim to be an Anglican, I was brought up in an Anglican...
