Sometimes I have been moved to tears (Rheims Cathedral) for no explainable reason and sometimes I have been left physically and mentally cold. Rarely have I been completely unaffected. <br /><br />If you were a 'lifelong' atheist why were you a choirboy? Your love of singing just meant that you crossed your fingers behind your back? <br /><br />By the way, when God made man he was only practicing. (so a woman told me).

After all, in the past they tended to spread the word by fear and oppression, rather than love of fellow man. All that sermonising! The only church I've been into where I felt any "connection" was the Cathedral in Helsinki. It was light, airy and lacking ornamentation of any kind.

My daughter did some genealogy things and tracked her father's family back to a village. She went there. When she visited the church, she saw the signatures of the very people she had researched, weddings, baptisms, deaths. She found it very moving. <br /><br />My church is Trinity, as well.
