So, I attended an Episcopal service today and it was okay. It was a lot like other Christian services I've attended elsewhere, except this time they handed out the Eucharist and I got to see what it tasted like. It tasted a little funny, but was still pretty good, I think. Anyways, I think it was a nice service, but I don't know if this church is the right one for me after all. First of all, it's a bit far from my house, and secondly, it feels like it's missing something... I thought the service would be more Catholic-like, but it wasn't and that was a bit of a let down. I like the more formal format of Catholic services at my grandma's church.
But this isn't exactly about picking and choosing which church I like most, now is it? No. If it were about that, I'd just keep attending the Methodist church down the street. But no, this isn't about churches. This is about how I want to conduct myself for the rest of my life, and the Episcopal way might be it, but parts of it still feel a bit watered down when compared to Catholicism. I don't know why I'm so focused on Catholicism, by the way, as that is not the tradition I come from originally. But something about it, at least right now is calling to me... maybe I should stop resisting so much and start looking at it with a more open minded eye.
