Wonderful!:extrahappy:

I had not heard of Allen Hunt before yesterday. But went to the link and listened to two of his programs from his radio show. Good stuff.

I too have recently come into the church from the UMC. I am a cradle Catholic who wandered away due to circumstances around my marriage in 1986. I joined the UMC in 1996, began the process of reversion back to the Catholic Church in 2003, and finally had sacramental Reconciliation in Oct 2007.

So, my heart is with Allen, who also walked a long road into Mother Church. Also, like him, I have entered alone, my spouse and children remain UM. I need to check out that St. Monica thread…:gopray2:
 
Wonderful news! I’m hoping other Methodists and their clergy will follow his suit! My prayers for him and his family!

Well, my friend, I don’t know if that is true or not but I’m glad to tell you that I’m a convert myself. After 27 years as a UMC minister my wife and I came home in 1999 to the Byzantine Catholic Church. I didn’t know Hunt but he has wonderful days ahead.

A belated Welcome Home to you and your wife!

Would you be willing to post your conversion story on the Non-Catholic Christians forum, if you were comfortable doing so? Or have you already done so? It’d be interesting to see the transition and I’d love to hear your story. I’m a former Methodist layman myself and entered into the Roman Church last year, but hope to translate to the Maronite Church in a year or so.

On listening to his latest show from the 2nd of March, he talks about switching faiths and goes into a little bit about his conversion. Not too much, though. He says he’s not ready to go into complete detail, yet because it’s too personal. I hope to hear his full story soon.

I’d be glad too but just a question, why in the Non-Catholic forum? When I’ve more time I’ll post it.

I thought that was the forum that had the most traffic, and there a few Methodist clergymen that post there. It might plant some seeds, inshallah (God willing).

Makes sense.

Yep, and just like Martin Luther, he left and got married. In fact, he left for the purpose of getting married. He must have weighed that against 2000 year old doctrines chose sex.

So much for vows.

It’s normal for most men to desire marriage.

Thousands of RC priests have left the RC church for the same reason.

The comparison I was making in this particular case, was that the priest, who can confect the Eucharist, left for desires of the flesh

The Minister who had his earthly “normal desires”, as you say, left for desires of the Eucharist - the Body and Blood of the Savior.

how awesome is that…

I find it cannibalistic.

That is nothing new. You are not alone. We see those similar thoughts began right after Christ said (swore an oath) four times that it was His flesh we would eat. Many walked away… and He allowed for that.

Further we know that just like at the OT Passover, and clearly at the first Passover, you had to eat the Lamb.

More that this. The ancient pagans and atheists of the first three centuries accused the Christians of cannibalism. Are those who accuse us of this today any different than the accusers and persecuters of long ago?
