Pretty much what the priest told me on Saturday. My only action at the moment is to seek God's will and await results. It's frustrating not being part of a Christian community in a more formal and committed way and I want to share in the Eucharist fairly soon and make some sort to contribution to Church life, but I'm beginning to relax a little and I realise I have been obsessing about getting the denominations and procedures right as if I had to pass a test. I guess it's my fear of being rejected or not being good enough. Anyway, I'm relying on God to see me through as long as I'm open to his words for me
That (Eucharist policy) is one of the things I didn't like about the Baptist church near my house. I wasn't welcome at their communion table unless I were baptized by them (a 3rd time for me, mind you!). To me it said they didn't consider me a brother in the Lord even though I know I am one. Same thing with the Orthodox, so I would feel off-put in their church as well. By contrast, when I first attended my current (ACNA Anglican) parish, they announced both verbally and in the bulletin that communion was open to all baptized believers; I felt welcomed as a Christian believer there, and I'm still there.
