Hello All!

I come here in search of some insight, knowledge, recommendations on a subject.

My wife and I are currently Roman Catholics, making the full jump a few years ago (raised Catholic, but never got all the way with confirmation - in my wife's case, baptism and confirmation). After entering into the Catholic church I started to read more and more about what was going on with the church around the world, and I found some things (as you will with anything) that I didn't particularly like, mainly on the subject of politics and economics. Recent comments by Pope Francis have me thinking very hard about looking elsewhere for worship.

My wife and I are pretty conservative, maybe more Libertarian leaning, but I'm sure you get the drift. Though I strongly believe in helping others, and charity, I believe it is Jesus' teaching that we do this out of the kindness of our hearts, not by the coercive nature of Government - give what you can when you can, not force the neighbor to your right to give to your neighbor to your left via taxation/redistribution.

So the question: what Christian denomination would fall most in line with our beliefs (and if you happen to know of any churches in Pittsburgh, PA that would be great!)?

Thank You and Regards
 
Hello PatroitPete .. Welcome to CFnet.

We members here come from many different denominations ... We do our best to read, share, talk, from a Biblical standpoint not so much a denominational one.
I have no idea of Churches back east .. I have enough troubles being on the left coast...
 
Dear PatriotPete, welcome aboard to our Christian fellowship. Christians are the body of Christ regardless of denominational ties because they have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. I too came out of Catholicism when I became aware that I was really saved and a child of God through something as simple as John 3:16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The more I read and thought on it I could not deny the truth of it, and it did not align with all I had been taught. I tried several churches and settled one for awhile, would grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus, and go to another for awhile until I learned where I fit the best. Stick around and engage us as to our beliefs, read your bible and you'll be surprised how quickly God can put the desire for more than just religion in your life. It's a pleasure to have you with us in Jesus' name. :)
