Answer: In Italy there are few Reformed Baptist Church around the nation, and very very far from my region. I used to visit a conservative reformed presbyterian pastor in Switzerland, but now he has move to London. During Easter holidays I could go to Switzerland to attend a church (liberal, but presbyterian), but it were a lot of kilometres. The reasons to move are because of the house. In Italy is not very simple to buy a house if you have not a fixed work (I am a teacher in Secondary Schools), and the economical situation of our nation is very tragic (not only for me, but for a lot of people, especially young). So I have to live with my family because I have no money to have a house for mine, nor I can pay a rent. I am going to stay in a house owned by my realtives, if I can find a better work there. If not, I will go on to stay here, but I think that the religious situation can't change in both case. Anyway every sunday I attend the "Protestant Church" (Lutheran+Waldensian etc) : I know they are liberals, but it is better to not to go to church at all. So this is my present community and I prey for a real reformation of this church.
