Hello From Minnesota

[Stan]

I was born and raised in upstate New York. I have lived in Texas, Alabama, and Canada. For the last 17 years I have lived in Minnesota. I was raised a Roman Catholic and I briefly studied in a seminary. After leaving the seminary I was quickly drafted into the military, which began my wandering through secular life for the next four plus decades with my wife of forty-three years. I have never found a real religious home, but recently I have realized that I can spiritually be called a Progressive Christian. Now I am searching for a local progressive Christian church -- in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area -- to grow in. Does anyone have a church to recommend to me?

Welcome, Stan! Glad you found us! I was born and raised in Elmira. Moved to Texas in '79 though. NY was too cold for me! Sorry, but I can't recommend a church in the area you're in. Perhaps someone else here might know. But welcome to the forum! Jump in wherever you'd like.

Stan,

 

Welcome. I can't help you with finding a church. But, I hope you will hang around here and participate.

A big welcome from a fellow Midwesterner (Iowa to be exact). I don't know of a PC church in your area, though. Glad you're here.

Hi Stan,

 

Can't help you with the churches as I am way over here in Mandurah, Western Australia, but naturally wish you all the best anyway. Welcome.

 

Cheers

Paul
