I wandered for a long time. Husband was raised in the
Baptist church; all his folks were Baptists, his brother
& SIL are Catholics (I’m not particularly impressed by
their brand of “religion”). He refused church altogether
for many years; but now that he’s old it’s different. -
I was in the Greek Orthodox Church for a while, but went
through a terrible time when my mother passed away & that
didn’t work for me after that - lived too far away from
the church, customs were too foreign, husband was too
hostile about it. I don’t like the Baptist preoccupation
with ALCOHOL being EVIL & I think there’s a lot wrong with
the Baptist theology. I do think I *could* tolerate going
in to the local Catholic church, sans my husband; but I do
not like all that “Vatican” stuff. I’m at a loss right now
on what to do. I do not feel at peace with the casual,
every now and then approach to taking the sacrament in the
Baptist church. - Any thoughts or suggestions anyone?

Missouri Synod Lutheran ,perhaps.
I found Lutheran more Scripture oriented and without all the statuary and saint-themed momentos. Sadly, about half of Lutheran churches now embrace homosexual choices and other destructive ideas. It is recorded that Luther did not want the church called after him,but to be known as the Evangelical Church.

You need to find a solid Holy Bible based Christian Church. Religion is man made and with it comes all the man junk. Christianity is a relationship between Jesus Christ and you. Start reading your Bible and pray every chance you get. Slowly but surely you will see what that relationship with Christ really looks like and then finding a real Church will be easy.
