So today I've been trying to 'compare' and figure out the different Christian Denomination's beliefs and Doctrines. It's almost like trying to pull a nail and the effort is sort of making my brain itch :-\. However, I'm trying to get a good idea before Sunday because I want to try to choose a service to go to on Sunday if I can make it to one either before or after some search and rescue training...
anyways, a few places I've found helpful are: http://christianity.about.com/od/denominations/Denominations.htm and http://christianity.about.com/. The first one is greatly helping me with trying to discern one Denomination from another because they all just seem the same to me :-\ while the second one has probably one of the largest amount of information I could probably ever find.
I also took a look at the different churches in my area and I found a surprising amount that probably will make things both slightly harder and slightly easier for me get through this. The churches range from Protestant, to Baptist, to Lutheran, to Roman Catholic, to Episcopal, and to Methodist. Quite a few to choose from.
Talking with a friend tonight, she offered me a chance to go with her to one of the services she goes to, a non-denominational, in a few weeks once she gets back from college and I think I'll be taking up the offer. I'll probably float around a few of the above denominations also until I feel a pull towards one. Perhaps I'll try the Baptist one first...
