Hello, all.
I am an Orthodox Christian. I'm 18, and converted when I was 14. I have had some struggles with my faith as of late. I left the Church for nearly a year and started attending the Episcopal Church. I am now back in the Orthodox Church. I created this account in order to learn about Anglicanism and such, so that's why my username is what it is. It's grown on me, though.
Though I am a communing Orthodox Christian, I am still on my spiritual journey. I do not know if the Orthodox Church is right for me anymore. I used to think so, but I find the Episcopal Church's liberal stance on things and intense involvement in charity and social justice in my community to be fantastic.
I feel so much more like the Episcopal Church is the Church for me. It has the traditions that I LOVE, while having an open-minded and accepting attitude towards different types of people. I'm also a great fan of things such as open communion for all baptized Christians, and the Episcopal Church's efforts in inter-denominational understanding.
But, I am an Orthodox Christian. Orthodoxy is MY Church. I love the people, and I love the liturgy. I disagree very much with some theological and social attitudes the Orthodox Church has, but I'm back in Church to see if I can't work these things out. As I said, I'ms till on my journey.
I am happy to meet all of you. Since I'd like to start posting here, I thought that an introduction was necessary.
With Christ's love,
