So, I’m having fun right now dealing with my husband’s church becoming a touch closer to the slightly wackier end of the charismatic spectrum. The leadership are having visions, the normally sedately English congregation are having outlandish dreams and my worship leader husband came home yesterday full of excitement about potential miracles. He’s been having some mentoring from another man at church which has told him that he’s ‘ok’ with me going down the Catholic road, but we ‘must start having prayer sessions together’.
All of which has left me feeling profoundly uncomfortable. I don’t mind, and have always prayed with my family, at meal times, to start the day and at bed, and my husband and I pray if there is something specific to pray for, but I’m a bit
about ‘prayer sessions’ instigated by someone else.
I know the charismatic movement is a thing, it’s just not a thing I’m tremendously comfortable with, and I worry that by not being as excited as everyone else in the family by these new developments I’m going to cause ructions. I’ve tried really hard through my conversion to keep everything amenable and this is rocking the boat considerably.
How does a non-charismatic nearly Catholic connect with veering-into-slightly-odd Protestant family?
