While I’ve been an atheist for some years now, my wife has kept her faith. She’s been asking me if I’d drive her to church (Pentecostal), drop her off then pick her up when the service is over, she doesn’t drive by the way.
This has gone on for a year or so… and I’ve decided to go with her. I suppose that deep down I was never a die-hard atheist. In the back of my mind I’ve always thought that I was making a mistake by rejecting all that I was taught while I was growing up.
The church we’re going to go to isn’t the one that I was previously involved with. This one is relatively new and just down the street from us. It’s an easy walk in the summer but too cold to walk to in the winter.
I’ve been to their web site and they are really nice people. For newbies they invite you to come early, have coffee with them and you’re free to speak about anything… without judgement. I admit that I really miss the interactions that I used to have with my old congregation. They also have (like my previous church) many group meetings throughout the week where you can meet people, share problems, get counselling or just enjoy rach others’ company.
My wife and I are off on a short holiday starting tomorrow so our first visit to this new church will be on May 27th.
I know this may seem very odd, but in my heart I believe it’s the right thing to do for both of us.
