I still consider myself Orthodox, but I am still very acquainted with American Protestantism/Evangelicalism.

Since there was no Orthodox church anywhere near, though, I attended a Baptist church for a while, and now attend a Methodist church. I ended up joining the Orthodox Church, all still while teaching at the Evangelical Christian school.ДЄs things turned out, I eventually ended up taking another teaching job at another Evangelical Christian school in Alabama and taught there for eight years. It was during my four years teaching at an Evangelical Christian school in Little Rock that I felt I had found a home in the local Greek Orthodox Church.

During my four years teaching at an Evangelical Christian school in California, after trying a number of churches for a while, I simply didnвЂ™t go to church during most of that time. During two graduate school programs in Vancouver, British Columbia, I found myself at home in the Compline services of the Anglican church in the city. I just found the Evangelical brand of Christianity I had known all my life to be rather shallow.ДЄlthough I would still be more or less in the orbit of Evangelical Christianity throughout my life, my spiritual journey from that point on took me more and more away from standard American Evangelicalism. It wasnвЂ™t that I found either one bad or corrupt, or anything like that. Almost immediately, I had this distinct sense that I no longer really вЂњfit inвЂќ anymore with Evangelicalism, either at the church in which I had grown up (particularly the youth group) or at Wheaton Christian High School. By the end of that summer, I decided to get baptized. The Christianity that Lewis discussed made sense to me- that Christianity was challenging and appealing. It was then that I read Mere Christianity by C.S. During the summer after my junior year in high school, I guess you could say I had an initial вЂњcrisis of faith,вЂќ and I proceeded to rethink what I really believed.

I grew up in an Evangelical family, went to an Assemblies of God/Evangelical church, and attended Wheaton Christian High School. In fact, I lived pretty much at the center of it, in Wheaton, Illinois. I grew up within the Evangelical world of the 70-80s.
