No itβs empty compared to high church traditional Christianity. Because thatβs just one tiny tiny small part of the initiation sacraments in Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and high church Protestantism. Iβm genuinely so sad for you that youβre missing so much. I didnβt realize evangelicalism was that watered down!!!! This is really eye opening for me!! I had no clue

So for evangelicals baptism is just a statement and otherwise unimportant???
"high church." π
I very much agree that modern evangelical protestantism is watered down.
Why are you rolling your eyes at βhigh churchβ? Thatβs what itβs called so why eye rolling emoji?
I know the term.
I detest it. It's snobby.
Youβre the only low church Christian Iβve met that thinks itβs snobby? Is that an evangelical thing too? Amish people and Quakers and other low church Christians donβt seem to care that Iβve talked too?? Anecdotally I guess but youβre the first person Iβve met with strong feelings about it
I have strong opinions about things that are dumb to have strong onions about, but, hey, I'm an idiot. π€·ββοΈ
I was raised in a Protestant church and Protestantism pushed me away from God not toward God. I went from Taoism to Deism to now back to Christianity because I found Orthodoxy. I'm not baptized and I don't go to church mostly due to none being near me but I plan to visit one as soon as I have the ability to.
I hope youβre able to!!! You could try planning a monastery trip! They sometimes have guest areas so you can stay overnight
