JOURNEY HOME - 2023-10-30 - Kevin Shinkle

Kevin Shinkle was baptized in the Church of the Nazarene, but his family left the church when their pastor told his parents they had to stop smoking, and that brought an end to Kevin's churchgoing days for a while. He went on to college, and met some friends who were devout Catholics and helped him develop an initial curiosity about the Church. When his career as a journalist began to become more intense, he decided he needed a foundation of faith, and those seeds planted by his Catholic friendships began to bear fruit.

Welcome home, Kevin!

[@amitypickeral4540]

How interesting! I, too, had a short stint in the Nazarene church in my early 20s as I began my own faith journey away from my parents. I was visited by the pastor one day and told me I could not become a member because I was a smoker at the time. Thankfully that did not lead me away from continued seeking (and eventually found the Catholic Church). I wonder how many young people they turned away.

Just because someone was baptized at 5, does not mean that person ever became a Member of that church, a member of theFamily of God but not a church member! He knew nothing of the beliefs of the Church of the zNazarene. It was not right to mislead people this way.

I didn’t think he mislead anyone. That was his experience or rather his parents experience with the Church of the Nazarene & their pastor.
