Church has always been an interesting institution to me. The reasonable, scientific atheist in me resists the theological inundation, yet the academic in me enjoys the sense of structure and lesson. Regardless, I cannot undervalue the lessons that organized religion imparts, and I appreciate the chance to forcefully reflect upon my own decisions on morality.
This desire to go is compounded by my fiancee’s religious upbringing. I would love for her to continue in her faith to whatever degree she felt appropriate. I long to hear her sing in the choir, to hold her hand through the service, and to discuss our personal interpretations over a cup of coffee after. 2 months ago
I promised my husband to go to his church last year and this year again. So this Sunday we both went for an hour. It wasn’t very bad, not as crowded as I expected. We joined his mother on a balcony where she sings in a choir. It was a bit differenet from Russian Ortodox ceremony, but still very touching and meaningful. Glad we both had this experience! 2 months ago
