I found men who love Jesus with a passion and wholeness that I find rare among Christians of any stripe in these days. ... I found a place where worship is very deep, even sublime, and regular and intentional and heartfelt and amazing, and where prayer is an intentionally regular and essential and practiced part of every day. I found that Jesus was palpably present in every room and hallway. ... I found the presence of Christ in community that I was, frankly, a little envious of. I found a love of Christs body on earth that you dont find very often anywhere. ...I found the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit elevated and exalted and magnified in every single thing.
You write (in reply):
Its like saying, I met the most wonderful person, and that person is a Buddhist/Hindu/Muslim/JW/New Ager/Etc., and because theyre so nice, their religion must be true!
Fascinating ...
Seriously- talk about burying the lede.
Great, but you'd think that an evangelical would expand on that a little unless he/she is unaware that it's the doctrines which are the root of the catholic/protestant debate.
A couple passing remarks about the trinity or the love of God just doesn't sound convincing to those who know that doctrine is the heart of the thing, not frisbee, fun or food.
Isn’t though.
