Thursday, April 10, 2003 Switching denominations mid-stream is not something that is easily understood by many people--and being in an ecumenical environment, while easing the transition in some ways, complicates it in others. To answer some unspoken (and some spoken) questions: I am so very grateful to God that He brought me to this during this stage in my life, at this point in my life. I can stand before God and know that I am doing this for Him, I'm not doing it "for a guy." And, at the same time, I am free to do it for Him--another woman who is becoming Catholic this Easter is married and her husband is remaining Protestant--this is definitely an easier transition for me than it is for her. I have been asked by Catholics and Protestants alike if this transition is destructive to the ecumenical attitudes I've had to this point. It has put them in a new light, yes. Destructive? No. Quite the contrary--it was precisely ecumenism that brought me here.
