To: Repent and Believe

I’ve been pondering lately whether I should be looking more at Orthodoxy.

I wandered for a long time. Husband was raised in the
Baptist church; all his folks were Baptists, his brother
& SIL are Catholics (I’m not particularly impressed by
their brand of “religion”). He refused church altogether
for many years; but now that he’s old it’s different. -
I was in the Greek Orthodox Church for a while, but went
through a terrible time when my mother passed away & that
didn’t work for me after that - lived too far away from
the church, customs were too foreign, husband was too
hostile about it. I don’t like the Baptist preoccupation
with ALCOHOL being EVIL & I think there’s a lot wrong with
the Baptist theology. I do think I *could* tolerate going
in to the local Catholic church, sans my husband; but I do
not like all that “Vatican” stuff. I’m at a loss right now
on what to do. I do not feel at peace with the casual,
every now and then approach to taking the sacrament in the
Baptist church. - Any thoughts or suggestions anyone?
