What kind of Christian am I?

When people know I am a Christian, one of the first questions they ask me is "What kind of Christian are you?". They mean what denomination of Church do I attend. The answer I give will provide a 'perceived generalisation' of what kind of Christian I am. Catholic? Anglican? Pentecostal? Lutheran?

Well, let me tell you I ain't big on denominations. We need to be seen as united! We need to be united. God loves difference that's why there are different types.

I wish when people asked me that question they meant - "what ministry are you in?" or "whats your mission area?". Far more relevant or interesting. Far more descriptive. So I could say things like "play drums in worship", "feeding the homeless", "youth group leader". Or I could say "I dont have one...I dont do anything". These answers are a better description of what kind of Christian I am, I reckon.
