Well, maybe it's me and maybe it's not, but more than once I've gotten the feeling I'm being judged unfavorably when I respond to the referenced question, "Are you a Christian?" , "I'm an Episcopalian."

As if that makes me not a Christian.

Of course, the persons who come to mind right now are all members of a Presbyterian Church.

When I'm asked if I'm a Christian, I respond that Yes, I am a Christian who attends (or is a member of or however you want to phrase that part of it) the Methodist Church.

I guess I'll have to change my answer now and respond that I'm not a Christian because I'm a Methodist ..... *grins*

Well, if there is some other meaning to the question "are you a Christian" it has gone right over my head. I just say yes and the subject is dropped. Or, the person feels some sort of relief because they are also Christian, or not. As for Episcopalian or whatever, I do not judge anyone by that. Well, maybe I would be slightly more judgmental about Catholics (not negatively so, necessarily) because I know that Catholics have rituals that I do not have and do not always understand. Judgmental is not a good word....it would be, rather, aware. As for the arrogance some people demonstrate, I never really attributed that to a particular denomination. I would tend rather to attribute that to an individual. Obviously your level or awareness is different than mine. Nothing wrong with that. Thanks for responding.
