What was your religion growing up?
What was your religion growing up? What church, if any, did you attend? Religion can sometimes shape a person’s entire life – did it yours? Were you brought up in a church or have a relationship with one as you were growing up? I was not brought up to be religious. When I was young, during elementary school, we attended a local congregational church. I remember the blue velvet cushions on the pews at Sunday service and I remember vaguely youth classes.

Now that I am a grey-haired woman, I miss…
