I have recently started working in a catholic school. I must admit that I feel something stirring in me and a need to start embracing a faith. It's a lovely feeling that I can't really describe.
I was baptised in a Congregational church and over the years have dipped in and out of Christianity, not really finding the right church for me.
I had my children dedicated in what I thought was a nice Baptist church. The minister turned out to be a paedophile and was quite publicly jailed in the states having committed crimes over there. This put me off for a while.
Anyway, I don't really have any experience of Catholicism but I am intrigued. I'm wondering whether to try out Catholic Churches. Would I even be accepted into the congregation as a non Catholic?
There is also quite a nice C of E church nearby that I have been to.
I would also like my children to go to church. However, my husband is an atheist and would probably not support this. My children also have commitments on a Sunday.
I think I would like my children to be baptised 'properly'. Is a dedication valid or would they have to be baptised in another church?
Could I attend church on other days rather than Sundays? I know the Catholic Church has a mass on Saturday evenings. Would this be suitable for children?
Sorry, a bit rambling. Feeling a bit confused at the moment.
Thanks for any answers.
