So What Can We Do?

It may be possible to find a Church that is compatible with your own beliefs.

There are (relatively) progressive Churches like the Uniting Church in Australia and the Episcopal Church in the United States.

But you may find old theology and obstruction even there.

Jesus said: "'But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.'"  Matthew 6:6 (NRSV)

You can pray at home in the solitude of your own room.

You might be surprised!

 

"'And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father - the one in heaven.'"  Matthew 23:9 (NRSV)
