[quote=Anonymous]It got just one quick mention so far - please check out the Eastern Orthodox church.  It is the most traditional/unchanged version of Christianity- the original form.

If you are interested please read more about it.  Some churches are more ethnic than others - some of the Greek Orthodox churches will be very ethnic (some with over 50%  of the service in Greek, less converts).  However, the Orthodox church is open to anyone, and people other than immigrants and descendants of the more ethnic communities convert to Orthodoxy and find it to be a traditional church with great people, a wonderful spiritual home.

Consider checking out an Antiochian Orthodox church such as St Georges in DC, or Ss Peter & Paul in Potomac; a Russian Orthodox church such as St Nicholas in DC, St Marks in Bethesda; possibly a Serbian or Coptic Orthodox church.

If you are interested in a less ethnic/less language service-- there are a very small number of "Western Rite" Orthodox churches.  These are the Orthodox religion, but the service is all in English, and resembles more of a Western Protestant service with hymns.

When DH and I got married, we had different spiritual backgrounds -- it was an easy choice to gravitate towards the Orthodox Church, and away from the Catholic Church for a number of reasons, for us.  I wish you the best in exploring this decision, and hope you find somewhere you will be comfortable spiritually.
