Hello!

I'm an Anglican myself, but pretty sympathetic to the universality of Catholicism. But my reasons for becoming Anglican (after seriously exploring conversion to Orthodox Judaism in my 20s) are perhaps more personal and less doctrinal: the people who were most influential and supportive in my re-exploration of Christianity, and the people who made church feel like a home for me, are mostly members of the Church of England. Liturgically I'm on the "high" side of Anglicanism, with a strong affinity for sacramental worship (while recognising that worship is not about my preferences); theologically I tend toward a liberal/progressive view based on:

1. the idea of all humans being made in the image of God (even though we mess that up) and
2. the Great Commandment (I figure if people asked Jesus which commandment was greatest and He said "Love God, and love your neighbour as yourself" then that's a pretty important thing to bring to the way we interpret the rest of Scripture; and I recognize that a lot of the disagreements I have with some (more conservative?) Christians revolve around different ideas of what that love looks like in practice.)

I'm relatively new to Steemit and not sure about the etiquette of replying to older posts, but it's nice to "meet" another Christian here who isn't attached to a strict literalist interpretation of one translation of Scripture, for example, so I thought I'd say hello anyway.
