In other words, what could have been a vice, was transformed into one of the greatest blessings of my life. Keep offering up your situation and seeking wise counsel, but - as long as you are looking in different rooms of the same house, and doing so with love, then even your pride can be the impetus to a renewal of faith in another community. As long as you are not like Lewis's "connoisseur of churches", constantly jumping to the "greener grass", I trust God will know your faith and desire.
Like the wayward soldier in Lewis's The Last Battle, God will know the sincerity of your faith and the true object of your desire, and His love will overcome any wayward digressions that you fear you might have made along the way.
Hi all. I realize I'm a late-comer here and this thread has been inactive for a couple weeks, but I want to say I love the fact that we've got Mere Christianity, Screwtape Letters, and The Last Battle all in here.

But isn't "seeking the Lord" the same justification why some go to Protestantism, or even the pseudo-Christian sects like SDAs and Mormonism? Yes, I think there exist Mormons and SDAs who got there while sincerely seeking the Lord. Thinking is dangerous, but you mustn't let that stop you. (You may have noticed that in one of my profiles I describe myself as a "thinking traditionalist".)
