Peace Seeker

Thanks to all of you who responded. It's a comfort to know that there are those who have struggled to some degree with similar problems. Which only proves, in my opinion, that there has to be something in each of us that drives us to seek the very thing which strikes that fear. I prefer to think of mine as a "spiritual" journey as opposed to a "religious" one. Peace is what I'm after, it doesn't matter to me how I get there. Maybe I need to redefine and look at the fear as a positive force in my life.

I am brand new to the Progessive Christianity thing. I just discovered it a few days ago. I must admit I still have reservations due to my Southern Baptist upbringing and later my affiliation with the Pentecostal Church, both of which left me still searching for more. My question is like others I have read. How does one let go of the guilt that the church has embedded so deeply about questioning other religious concepts? I know in my heart there just has to be more, but struggle with the fears that I will be eternally banished from God's good graces.
