Thanks for this interesting thread, dismayed.

I think the Catholic Church would fit what you're describing in your original post. While many today think of the Church as the true enemy of science (think Da Vinci Code) it actually does believe evolution is possible, that Genesis is not to be literally interpreted, Revelation has mostly happened and is symbolic, etc.

The Church did get a bad rap in the Middle Ages with some truly abhorent and stupid moves including the burning of various critics, the Galileo debacle, Inquisition, etc. However, it is important to note that the Catholic Church started the university system, many of the fathers of modern sciences were actually priests who had the support of the Church, etc.

What has always fascinated me about the Catholic Church is that in general political liberals find blame it for being not-progressive because of various issues and political conservatives sometimes blame it for being too liberal on other issues. To me, that is a truly moderate church that is not swayed by anybody. In fact, as a conservative, I constantly wrestle with my Church's teachings on the death penalty, illegal immigration, social justice issues, the environment, etc. And it has challenged me and changed my mind on some of these issues!

Sooooo, I'd recommend the Catholic Church but always know in OKC like in every other city you will see congregations that tilt idealogically one way or another, but the core truths are the same.

Good luck in your search and pax et bonum!

Me and my family love the church home we found at Chisolm Trail Presbyterian (Yukon). Our pastor is extremely on target and always has a very interesting sermon. She's one of the best pastors I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Very intelligent as well.

We're a small church and we tend to sing a little. Old hymns are rather relaxing.
