It is always helpful when someone has had similar experiences and they share what they learned. I have been reading Jason Zaharaides’ blog for quite some time. He is, as you will see, entering the Eastern Orthodox church. I have found his posts about his journey toward Eastern Orthodoxy interesting (Post #1) (Post#2). I thought these posts are helpful on several counts. 1) He summarizes the issues with consumer church. 2) He describes his emerging church response to the consumer church and finally he talks about the short comings of his emerging church experience. I’m not of any mind to head to Eastern Orthodoxy but I think he is right about the need for community and liturgy. I have not progressed nearly as far as Jason in my journey away from the consumer church, but I think the lessons Jason learned are very helpful in thinking about where to go from here.

Hi,
I saw your comment on my husband’s blog and decided to come see who you are. It looks like you are on a journey too… the journey that will take all of our lives…the journey toward loving God with everything that is within us. That is what motivates us, even though we stumble and get distracted at times, God draws us closer.
May you find Him as you seek Him with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength.
In Christ,
Debbie
By the way I love that cartoon on your “About” page! That reminds me of Jason and me. I’m the one who is more likely to be saying, “I’m not so sure this is a wise thing to do.” But the more we discover, the more we are liking what we find.
I like the Thomas Merton prayer too! Can I just steal your “About” page? just kidding.
Debbie (again)
Hi George. I wanted to thank you for posting about my journey and linking to my blog.
