I grew up Presbyterian
My mom was raised Pentecostal
My dad was raised Lutheran
My God Mother, Roberta Hazard, was
Catholic
I touched a toe in each
When I was in high school I visited a
Lutheran church, loved the service and its weekly communion
When I was treated poorly by my
childhood church I spent most of my time at Lutheran services
As an adult a dear friend invited me to
go to Saint Mark's Cathedral, it was the feast of the Pentecost. By
the end of the service I knew I was home.
People whose faith influenced me, feels
almost like a mathematical equation. Sharon Blackford a cradle
Episcopalian and Admiral Roberta Hazard a strong Catholic. So my
being a Catholic leaning Episcopalian is rather expected. My favourite authors also mirror this situation, The greatest Catholic writer and the greatest protestant writer; JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis.
