Answers for Seekers from Protestant Traditions

Coming from a protestant background in the South, one brings with them some popular and secular beliefs that may have gone unquestioned -- perhaps even unnoticed -- for one's entire life.

We hope that these answer a few questions, and if they raise new ones please do contact us.
