Have you looked into the Episcopal Church? I only ask this because you say that you have a Catholic background, well, it's kind of "Catholic Lite", or so they say. There are many different types of Episcopal churches, some are more catholic than your average catholic churches, and others are extremely liberal. Either way you look at it, they are usually very welcoming, with a focus in helping people. The Episcopal parish that I'm a member of is "smells and bells" in it's worship, and very liberal in it's social leanings. There are also a lot of Universalists in our church, and they are very welcome, everyone puts their differences aside at the communion rail. I know there is a lot of upheaval in the church of late, but most Episcopal churches are small, and very family centered, some even disfunctional, but in a very nice sort of way, if that makes sense. Good luck, and yes, pray about it and read your bible, you'll find your home!!! Abby (Piskie, Sonlight, Soccer mom to Noah, Jacob and Ian)
