My family went first to a Lutheran church (my father's side of the family was Norwegian) and then settled into an Episcopal church (my parents had married in the Episcopal church because they were allowed to marry there despite the fact that they were both divorced). My mother's parents (a German father and a mother with ancestors in England, Scotland and Ireland) were married in a Unitarian church in Boston. My mother's ancestors in the Black Forest in Germany were Catholic. On her mother's side, they seem to have been Protestant. Anyway, I still have my palm leaf crosses from Palm Sundays in the Episcopal church! Stopped going to church in fall of 1967, as a freshman in college, but do find myself drawn to Catholic churches when no one else is there. Visited Redwoods Monastery several times after reading books by Thomas Merton during a period when I was considering converting to Catholicism. amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.com
