with the melding of the converts board w/ the apologetics board into the new transmundane board, the top got a little cluttered with pinned topics. but, i don't want to lose these threads from the converts board b/c they are really important. so, below is a link to each one. make sure you check them out regularly, especially if you are a recent convert to Catholicism.

it didn't go away completely. it just merged with the Apologetics board.

Yes, I realize that, but it was really nice for Converts or those considering converting to have a place of their own so to speak. At least a place to poke their heads in and start.

But that's just my $0.02. :saint:

I know you agree :) And I'm not a convert. But I know that early on I'd worry about posting something that someone would jump all over. In a converts board people tend to recognize that people may not be that well versed etc. I guess my point is that the pham can be a bit intimidating and sometimes less than charitable and so the converts board just seemed like a kinder gentler place for folks to pop in and look around.

Anyhow, I'll quit whining now. Thanks Phatty for all you do.

i think the Apo board (not the TML) has always been a welcoming place for people who have questions. this is the board to go to if you want to understand your faith better. hopefully converts will feel just as comfortable asking questions here as they did when they had their own board. pretty much everyone who posts in here regularly is here to help.

pax christi,

There are some apologetics classes that I plan on taking this fall including RCIA again to keep my self informed, I hear many people doing this and proves to be a great blessing in wisdom and faith, since it maintians your faith. :)

I agree, we need to be more supportive of our fellow Christian brothers. Let us not forget that if someone is baptized legitimately, they become part of the Mystical Body of Christ whether they accept Catholic Doctrine or not. If you see one of your brothers falling would you not help them pick up their cross and lead them to the narrow path that leads to Life.
