I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up Roman Catholic, like most people in this area. I have completed the three sacraments of initiation (baptism, confirmation and eucharist), one of the sacraments of healing (penance) and more recently, one of the sacraments of communion (marriage). I also served as an altar server and sang in the youth choir. I was very active in my church and did everything a child could do. As I get older, I find more comfort in the Catholic Church; something about it makes it feel like home. Reciting the preface during Mass, although brief, is simply comfortable. It's very difficult to describe. When I was a child, these stories about the stained glass windows amazed me. The intricate artwork and beauty of these panes is like nothing I have ever seen before. Since moving to Northeast Tennessee, I have been less involved in the Church due to the limited number of Catholic Churches in that area, but I still identify closely with Roman Catholicism. I start with these because they have a huge impact on my Christian worldview. When we talk about a Christian worldview, we are talking about how we think and act based on our religious beliefs. These beliefs can come from influences such as family, friends, church, the Bible itself, etc. What you believe and how you believe it becomes your Christian worldview, which goes hand in hand with your personal worldview. Often these two elements influence each other. Additionally, as we look to the Bible to start or strengthen our Christian worldview, we must remember that the Bible is meant to be read and should be read in context and read and studied like a book. history. As with almost all stories, it contains metaphors applicable to the era in which it was written. The uniqueness of this story is that it is not over. We are all part of it and we each have our place..
