Christianese and Church Words – religious terminology that churches use.

Day 8 Lent – We are continuing our Lent Experiment with talking about Christian lingo today. From words used by the modern church and some funny christian cuss word alternatives, let’s look at the Christianese culture.

My family has been actively attending church for the last 20 years. I was raised Catholic, took several years off from the “church scene” and then started attending various non-denominational churches.

Even though it’s been 20 years – you guys, I’ll never forget trying to understand Christianese!
