The thought struck me recently that I am really an odd mix of denominations and traditions.
My mom's Methodist.
My dad's American Baptist.
My sister's Southern Baptist.
My hubby and I are Nazarene.
My sister and I attended the Baptist Collegiate Ministry.
My hubby (a Nazarene) went to a Wesleyan University and met me at a Baptist campus ministry.
My roomie and I semi-regularly attended a local Messianic Jewish congregation.
Although I attend a "low church," I secretly (or not so secretly) love liturgy and many high church traditions (once I understand *why* the traditions exist).
My hubby and I will be doing mission work in South America. We're learning Spanish and sometimes sing in our Spanglish.
So I research Spanish; I research the church year; I research the Jewish traditions and history that are prominent in the New Testament.
And it's wonderful, this blending of traditions in my multi-denominational faith. For every church I have been to has worshiped the Father.
Is your faith a mix of different traditions? What type of traditions are present in your faith?
