After practicing in a Hindu tradition for 30 (Siddha Yoga,)three years ago I was suddenly pulled into the orbit of Jesus Christ, experiencing Him coming into my life with great power and Love. Although I recognize both paths to lead to the same One, I felt that I had to choose to follow one or the other, not both at the same time. My previous Master used to say you cannot ride two horses at the same time. <BR/><BR/>As to the Arian heresy, I certainly know plenty of Episcopalians that would subscribe to it. I personally feel it is less important to judge whether someone is ascribing to "right belief" than that s/he sincerely walks the path to God with whole hearted devotion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
