Oh, yeah, it's not easy to leave a denomination when you're at least sixth-generation Episcopalian. My gggg grandfather John Bale was baptized in 1795 at St. Giles Cripplegate, the church where Cromwell was married and John Milton is buried. Just north of the NW corner of the old Roman city wall in the City of London.

Not to mention that my husband was raised Methodist and my mom Presbyterian.

Holy mackeral. I guess you've got some impressive history to contend with!

My mother converted to Catholicism while she was in her teens. My father was Catholic, an altar boy until he was 17. My husband is Catholic, and also an altar boy until 17.
