re: Point to Ponder #1: Misuse of the word “Church”

I was raised Methodist, and maintained my affiliation with it until 2016, when it became unbearable. I have floated around since, and I have had quite a strong calling, as of late, to eastern orthodoxy because of the tradition and the liturgy, the latter of which I have missed since leaving the Methodist church. I have recently made friends with an Anglican priest and his insight in casual conversation about the Bible, the early church fathers, and the early ecclisia, have been more life giving than anything i have recieved from the denominational and non-denom churches that i have attended in the last 20 years. Just scratching the surface in this pursuit of Christ.
