Mike Crumbie has a program that runs early on Saturday mornings. He has a heavy southern accent and big time ‘Amens’ :-)!

And our church is full of former Catholics. Guess it flows both ways.

Why’d you post a two-year-old article, NYer?

Thanks for calling our attention to this article. I'd not seen it before.

With so many coming into the Church, it sure looks like those former Protestant ministers make some of the best Catholics.

What a wonderful story! His experience is similar to my own. One by one, the rebel strongholds fall.

Night cometh. God gathers His flock to the fold as the wolves circle for the kill. But in His hand, the Shepherd holds not a crook, but a sword...

Now I was raised so anti-Catholic -- we were told, don't you ever go inside a Catholic church. If you go into one, you can't get out. We laugh about it now, but we were deathly afraid of Catholicism. We thought it was from Satan and was deceiving millions of people, full of man-made rituals, because it was so different from our form of Christianity of preaching and singing and evangelizing.

Baptists...please tell me if this is true. Do you hate us? Why?

Great post!

But also, as a Southern Baptist, we did not believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, that they still operated today or were meant for today.

For any SB FReepers, is that right?

I’m late to the party here...

My former parish hosted Mr Cumbie a couple years ago for a seminar. I didn’t really care for it anyways, but by the end it was all about turning the whole group into pentacostals. All they cared about was speaking in tongues, including polluting the Mass with it. Went over well in the SF Bay area, but this diocese wasn’t exactly the most adherent to tradition (or the liturgy in general) anyways.

Now perhaps I should read the rest of this thread.

Once a Southern Baptist pastor, Michael Cumbie

This is a new twist. I have never seen a reference to Michael Combie being a Baptist pastor before, much less a Southern Baptist pastor. Previously he has always said that he was a former Protestant pastor or a Pentecostal Protestant Pastor.

I think that Anna Krestyn has made a mistake in referring to him as a former Southern Baptist pastor.
