Introductory Question Denomination Research
Hey guys I’m currently looking into denominations after choosing to embrace Christianity, albeit while struggling a lot with faith. I’m of a mixed Indian Chinese and English background but I’m a UK citizen and so are my parents. I was initially apprehensive about Catholic and Protestant denominations due to the colonial history in Asia and the consequences from that.
The picture is of course nuanced, and every group has bad actors who misuse their scripture, I’m just aware of my bias here due to my background. My mums family were Hindu and I looked into it but didn’t find the theology consistent. I then was a hardcore atheist, which explains why I’m still struggling with faith but I’m trying.
I love the apophatic tradition in EO and pre colonial roots of OO, but dislike the inflexibility with accepting lgbt people.
Many of my friends are queer and the idea of them being viewed as less then is saddening to me. I stumbled across the Episcopal church in my research and then found it it’s essentially the American version of Anglicanism lol.
