On the Edge of Catholicism

For those of you who know me personally, and know I hold to a Reformed theological world-view, chill. It's all good.

I remain an Anglican trapped in the body of a Presbyterian.

I am reading a wonderful book entitled More Christianity, by Dwight Longenecker. Dwight is a former Anglican priest who came into the Catholic Church a few years back, along with his wife and children.

His terrific book is a cogent explanation to Protestants of what Catholic Christianity is all about.

While I find more than a few things in Catholicism I am not comfortable with, the sheer grandeur of faith as expressed by Catholic believers is, I think, pretty awesome, and gives me pause to consider whether I, as a Reformed believer, am too familiar with God - appreciating His personal and intimate relation to me, but being indifferent to His vastness.
