Hello everyone, I'm Dave and I'm new to both the forum and to the Anglican faith. I was raised in the (US) Southern Baptist and Methodist churches, which may explain why I fell away from the church as I got older. Too much doom & gloom and hellfire & brimstone for me with too little of the love and joy of the Holy Spirit. Looked closely at Catholicism, but not at ease with some of their beliefs. Found the Anglican Church early this year and I feel like I'm finally home. Having a real good time learning my way in the faith and doing what I can to help the church in its ministries. I look forward to getting to know all of you better. God bless! ✝️
