[quote=Anonymous]OP, my DH was raised Catholic and left the church when we got married because we wanted a common faith (I'm Protestant, culturally Presbyterian but never consistently attended church when I was young).  We went to an Episcopal church for many years.  The Episcopal church was beautiful, albeit a little formal for my taste.  I liked the thoughtful preaching and progressive politics, but I eventually got sick of the internecine squabbling.  I also never felt like my faith grew or was particularly challenged.  We subsequently moved to VA and have been attending a Methodist church for about four years.  We love it!  The traditional service is formal and familiar enough that DH feels comfortable (we even say the Apostles/Nicene Creeds), but the message emphasizing God's unending grace and love is radically different for me.  I will say that DH was freaked out by the "modern" service because "it was SO Protestant." The downside is that the Methodist Church is not progesssive on gay/lesbian issues, which really gives us pause -- but I think/hope that is changing.[/quote]
