I sometimes worry that I'm losing touch with my faith. Since I am between church families and not working at a church anymore, I feel as though I'm not living out my faith as "out front" as I was before. And it bothers me. Sure, I'm going to seminary right now and reading a lot about theology, but this makes faith becomes more of an academic endeavor than personal. So, I guess that means it's time to start getting serious about finding a more permanent church home; or do I go back to where I was worshiping. This is one of "the questions" that I'm dealing with right now.

I was born and raised Lutheran. I'm currently attending a Lutheran seminary. I have a hard time thinking about leaving the Lutheran church. In the past, I've been very coy about my denominational thinking that it really doesn't matter what type of church you attend because it's all about God. And to some extent I still believe that. More important to me now, though, is does the theology and service meet my needs. The name of the game for me: liberal theology and no organ.

Maybe my expectations are just too high. That's what my "current" church set for me. I'm really looking for another church like this. So I continue to ask the question of myself: do I go back? After being hurt so badly by them, do I take the risk and say, "this is my church and more importantly God's church.
