Session 1
Question:
Did you know that 80% of Episcopalians come from another tradition? Mother Rita started out as a Southern Baptist, then decided as a teenager to be Agnostic, married a Roman Catholic and baptized 2 kids in the RC church before finding her home in the Episcopal Church.
Where did you come from?

Mother Rita - Not quite as dramatic. I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church. My father was not happy when I moved to the United Methodist Church ("The churches are very different!" He was right, really.). After alot of soul searching, Linda and I left the UMC on 1/1/2000 and started visiting churches of different donominations. This included Nativity at the store front. After about six-eight months of going to different churches, we found we kept coming back to Nativity and the Episcopal Church.
Baptist by birth, Episcopalian by the Grace of God.
Straw poll: how many priests have you met were once Baptist?
I don't have the statistics, but I know there are a lot of us, even more than the number who were once Roman Catholic.
