Which denomination?

I'm not really anything right now, but I am attending (and trying to learn about) the Greek Orthodox Church.

I was raised in the American Baptist Church. There are a number of reasons I don't consider myself a Baptist, anymore, though none of them have anything to do with evolution. My mom is still a Baptist and if she's not a TE, now, she's certainly not condemning it. I was, however, taught YEC in Church and nursery school (I went to a Christian nursery school).

In my experience that's more the purpose of home-schooling.

I voted independent bacause I consider myself non-denominational, but I attend the church of Christ which some consider a denomination.

I was going to post a question like this in the OT forum, but I'm glad I decided to do a search.

I am a member of the "church of Christ", a non-denominational denomination . I was thinking it was interesting that this ministry - Does God Exist? by John Clayton - is theistic evolutionary-based and quite popular among various CofC's. Origins theory is not typically taught, and I've never seen it used as a test for one's salvation.

You might like to edit the link. I got a "file not found" tring to use it. Works ok if you take out the christianforums url.

Now how did THAT happen?

I'm new to the innerwebs. Perhaps I need bigger tubes.

I've been a Methodist all of my life. The age of the earth has never been a major issue, and I can't recall that the question has ever been raised at the church I attend. That's what I like about Methodism, we focus on the essentials (The centrality of Christ and forgiveness through his death on the cross) while leaving the non-essentials up to personal study, which echoes the words of both St. Augustine and the Moravians:

In essentials, unity, in non-essentials, liberty, in all things charity.

In fact, the High School astronomy/physics teacher I had in high school is a member of my church. He's retired now, but that astronomy class is one of my all time favorites, both from high school and college combined.

I see on reviewing the poll that I put down Presbyterian, and that is now out-of-date.

I was actually raised in the United Church of Canada (a union of Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregationalist and Evangelical Brethren) but became Presbyterian when we moved to a community where the Presbyterian congregation was friendlier. I joined the Evangelical Baptists for a short time when I married, but was appalled when I discovered they promoted creationism. (That's where I first discovered it--it was never an issue in the United or Presbyterian churches). My husband followed me back into the Presbyterian fold, where I stayed until my recent move to Toronto. In my neighbourhood I found the Anglican congregation to be the friendliest and liveliest and to have the most active outreach, so I am now Anglican.

Except for leaving the Evangelical Baptists, doctrine has never been a factor in my denomination-switching. If my husband had been Convention Baptist instead of Evangelical Baptist, I would probably still be Baptist.

I have always been active in ecumenical ministries and consider myself more an ecumenist than having ties to any denomination.
