I feel sad when I exit both the Catholic Church and my Baptist Church, but for different reasons.
I feel sad when I exit the Catholic Church because I am still an outsider. I belong there, but I don't. Jesus welcomes me there, but I am not in full communion with Him. I don't understand it all. I am not connected, involved, part of the community. I'm just a visitor and not a family member.
I feel sad when I exit the Baptist Church because I am still an outsider. I feel like I don't quite belong there. I also don't feel like Jesus is really there because it feels more like a Christian social club that a church. It's a fellowship party every Sunday focused so much on the Body that the Head feels ignored. And they removed the crosses. I haven't seen one in so long.
My inner debate about modern Christianity and seeking the truth of our church origins.
