From One Worldwide Church… to the True One

Dan Severino | Conversion Stories, Evangelical, Reverts to the Catholic Faith, Worldwide Church of God

My theological research at this time was making me aware that even the Protestant Reformers Martin Luther and John Calvin believed that the Lord’s Supper should be taken weekly.

I Never Dreamed I’d Be Married to a Catholic Priest!

Ruth Ryland | Anglican & Episcopalian, Conversion Stories

The thirteen years my husband, Ray, served as an Episcopal priest were exciting, fulfilling years. We had both come from a Disciples of Christ background, and we found the intellectual and liturgical ethos of the Episcopal Church very satisfying. But questions arose: Who was right? Which were the teachings faithful to the Gospel? Who was to say which teachings were true or false? Where was the locus of authority?
