yeah exactly... I don't understand how the Muslim point of view for instance is very fair or correct, considering people who go on murderous rampages and are also Muslims... But still, that's their view and it does not concern me.

Were you born into Christianity or did you convert?

Born into Christianity but converted (if that makes sense)...always claimed to be a Christian but a few years back chose to be confirmed, and last year started really making steps to leading a Christian life!

It's good to see that you've taken the right path. So are you a literal Christian or not?

I'm not really, I'd classify myself as a Non-Literal Anglican, although I do really like the Catholic Church and Catholicism as a whole, despite its negatives.

I don't really class myself into any type of Christianity! I try to follow the Bible as best as I can and as far as I understand it...not sure where that all fits into any classification. Plus I hate the idea of pigeon-holing Christians rather than unity!

Yeah I agree. I was born an Anglican, but carry both a Crucifix I made, and a Catholic Rosary. There shouldn't be any division in Christianity in my view, as it is pointless.

Looking for good apologetics books which are not written with the public in mind. Any suggestions?

Any area of apologetics in particular?

Can I have prayers please? Things aren't so good at home atm so can you guys pray for resolution to the problems please.

I've got a little prayer request. I'm not quite sure how to put this, because it's not a specific problem - it's more just a feeling, which is always hard to articulate. Lately I think I've been focussed on the wrong things. Or at least, it's not that the thing I'm spending most of my time thinking about is bad per se, just that all my energy is being wasted there (relationship issues is the simplest way to put it!) and I feel like I need to refocus. I'm not quite sure what I'm asking for - it isn't that I want a solution to the problem, more just the strength to stop worrying about it? I don't know. I'm sorry, this is a very unhelpful post!

I've prayed for you I think I know what you mean and think I can empathise too. It's very easy for relationships to completely absorb you




Prayed for you as well

Prayed hope everything sorts itself out for you!

Thanks things have managed to be sorted so a lot of worry and stress is off my shoulders.

No no no, you're not allowed to say things like that! : (

I'd ask you who they were, but I know you won't tell me, so at least say how they know me? There's no way I'm going to work out who you are just from that information - I have no stalking skills whatsoever...

Sounds like you know me already... I still think you all have enough information to find me, if I give you more, it'll just spoil all the fun

Thank you for your replies, everyone.

For those of you that have been on a retreat: I'm curious how you felt about your experience? Did you feel it was beneficial to your faith/spiritual practice? Where there many other young people? (If it was an event specifically for youths, what was it like being surrounded by other like minded young people?) Did you ever feel overwhelmed, or like it was hard to come back to everyday life? What was your motivation for going? Basically I'd like to hear what it was like

(For context, I'm considering going on a 3 day introductory retreat to a Zen Buddhist Abbey, specifically for late teens/early 20s people. I haven't been practicing Zen for very long but I feel my practice would benefit a lot from some instruction and being able to discuss things with the priests, as well as spending some time in a supportive atmosphere dedicated to meditation.)

I just thought I would share a real answer to praver that I had this week.

As some of you may know my finance and I are getting married in october. Due to my current landlord selling my flat I have had to move out a few months earlier than intended so we had to start looking at a flat. God truely does provide. The day after we started looking for a flat we were contacted by someone from our church who told us about the former vicar from one of the other local churchs who was looking to rent out his two bedroomed flat. We went to see it yesterday and it was beautiful. It was not only perfect in the type of flat it was also perfect in terms of when it was available and the rent we were paying (plus a tiny deposit). After looking around the flat we all went an sat in their car and prayed about it and all felt that us taking the flat was the right this to do. It truely is amazing.

Thanks things have managed to be sorted so a lot of worry and stress is off my shoulders.

Do we?

Does your first name begin with P?

...wait, what? I know you IRL, you mean? O.o

Either way, I really don't!
