I took it again, and this time, I totally "went with my gut," instead of thinking about what my teaching has been. I'm still EO, but the Lutheranism isn't quite so strong. Eeps! Now I'm 20% SDA--must be my arms.

See, you really are hanging around with an other worldly crowd (or maybe strange crowd)!

LOL! But one thing I've noticed is that since I've been talking with you, Sionnsar, Agrarian, et al., I've been much calmer--and I never look for trolls anymore. What are you doing to me?

This poor Anglican (still in ECUSA) is wrestling mightily and is being nourished daily by EO Morning and Evening Prayers found online.

I too wonder about the 100% Eastern Orthodox

Your top rankings are Orthodox, Anglican/Episcopal and Roman Catholic. Put them altogether and you should explore the Eastern Catholic Churches, which are not factored into this quiz. ;-D

"Put them altogether and you should explore the Eastern Catholic Churches, which are not factored into this quiz. ;-D"

Did you ever think of going into sales? :)

What she means, sionnsar, is that you should look at the Melkites or the Maronites, not those guys in Eastern Europe, right NYer? ;)

As you say, this is an very interesting, although I could fault some of the questions and the answers. For instance, "None of the above" should be an option on every question. ("Not sure" is not the same as "None of the above.")

I am guessing that the author of the "Online Denominational Selector" based his questions and answers on the official doctrines of each church or denominations. To do this right, one would devise a good questionnaire, then use it to survey a suitable sample of people belonging to each denomination. From their responses, it would be possible to obtain a profile of each denomination.

Oh, so that explains why my kids sleep in the car all the way home ;>) Max insisted that we buy some of the incense, so now we get our daily quota of it!

Feed the kids some garlic to round out the aroma and people will think they're Greeks!

There were a few questions where I didn't really like any of the answers
I had that problem too.

Here also. Some of the questions--and some of the answers--were poorly put.

Rev, if you knew the old ladies at church and my aunts in the old country, you'd understand. I'll bet the image of a wooden spoon doesn't strike at all the same kind of terror in your mind that it does in mine! :)

"well you see that's because you're a sohisticated and theologically and liturgically informed "'Murican""

Well, not really. Try as I might, I still can't figure out what it takes to be a Seventh Day Adventist. And Eastern Orthodox was a challenge because I couldn't find the word "filique" anywhere.
