when were the gangstas saved?
Another installment of the Liturgical Gangstas. Check us out over at the Internet Monk. This month's question went something like this...

Someone comes to your office and asks you, “When were you saved?” What do you say?

Interesting question for a mixed ecclesial crowd. Let me tell you, though, as a Catholic boy who hung out with a lot of evangelical protestant Christians in high school and college, I have heard versions of that question waaaay more times than I can count. "I know you say you're a Christian, but when exactly were you born again?" "Have you ever really asked Jesus into your heart?" "I know you go to church every week and pray and stuff but is Jesus Christ your personal Lord and Savior?" Oh man.

I'm not huge on where Catholic apologetics is right now, but let me tell you something, when I was in college especially, I HAD to be an apologist. I absolutely had to be on my toes, know what I believed and why, etc. or I'd be toast. I had lots of very good relationships with my protestant friends in college, including my wife when I met her. And I believe that somehow I was a part of changing at least a few people's attitudes about Catholic Christians. We all learned to help each other, to be Christ to each other, to build each other up regardless of the tradition we were a part of.
