you might want to join a liturgically oriented church, where the worship/communion service is more important than the personality of the preacher.

If you hate Catholics, try Anglican or Orthodox churches...some Lutheran churches too.

I don’t hate Catholics. Husband’s brother & family are Catholics and the situation with them seems to appear to be more of a hatred of ME than the other way around.

I tried the Orthodox situation a few years ago; in fact, about the only real friendliness there seemed to me to come from the pastor. I spent a few years there until I got so old and decrepit I couldn’t stand for the long services they had (what few seats that were provided were quickly taken and kept throughout the services; plus, endurance was a virtue I suppose). Every time the bishop came to visit, more changes were initiated and more chairs were taken out and the services and music got more and more Greek, and the congregation wasn’t Greek but most had made extreme changes to become Orthodox in the first place. First impressions were of a beautiful order of service that just changed over time.

I’ve had to resort to going closer to home these days as driving forty and fifty miles round trip to and from a church isn’t feasible for me any more.
