[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyway, I find myself wanting to believe. But now I'm just caught in the middle and trying to figure out[b] if it's okay for me to just follow the teachings of Christ in terms of how to be a good person in the world without actually subscribing to some of the more wild claims.[/b] And I find myself teaching my children to love the way Christ taught us to love God and love others and avoiding the other trappings.

[b]
Yes, it's OK - and some Christian churches pretty much operate that way[/b][i].[/quote]

Recommendations? I'm really bad at finding the right churches for this.
Also complicating matters is that I'm a bit of a unicorn in my faith/politics alignment. I'm for compassion and kindness, but I'm not an angry warrior about most things. And I feel like no matter what church I go to these days, you have to either put on your pink pussy hat or don your Make America Great Again cap! I'm honestly not down with either one!  Help!

Honestly most of your mainline protestant churches would probably fit that description.  I was raised Catholic but have recently started attending our local Episcopalian church and really found it to be the perfect "unicorn" space - they take social justice seriously, but also respect and honor the traditions of the past.  I spent a few months going to different churches each week, and every parish really has its own feel.  [/quote]
