Hi Guys :)

I have an issue, and I really need help on how to go about it. Since I was 10 years old, I have had the same FoC; I did not really have a choice, as my parents chose for me because I was young. I am now 18 years old, and although I really love him, I feel as if I would be more comfortable and more open with another FoC...I already know which Abouna I would like to change to and everything. Is it okay to change FoC's? If so, how do I go about doing so; I should let my current one know, right? How do I do so? I feel as if it would be kind of awkward. Thank you so much for reading this and for your answers.
Pray for me!!!!
Your sister in Christ.

    it shouldn't be that 'awkward' if you are tht comfortable with your old foc. but i strongly recommend that you do let him know instead of just not going to him anymore.

    yes, it's not that unusual to change in teenage years or early adulthood, coz u no longer are dependent on yr parents and might start to think a bit differently to them.
    maybe start by telling him u are grown up now and would like to do some things differently to yr parents. tell him u want to grow strong in yr own faith and not just follow theirs. this is a good idea coz then u will be strong in any temptation and in sharing yr faith when u are far from yr parents.

    I have my father of confession and for a long time I thought that he "didnt get me". But for him being a normal egyptian and me being a uncultured american, he does astonishingly well. But I always have those converts that I associate with too. I don't think it is weird, it actually shows spiritual maturity and tells me that you take your faith very seriously, for that I commend you.
