Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 I have to 'fess up, too, Ruthie - when I was telling DH about your advice re: Jemima, I described you as orthodox Jewish with 8 kids and his reaction was: " Only 8? Sounds like a very unorthodox Jew to me " since when you have been referred to as my unorthodox Jewish friend! (Though he does repeat your advice to all and sundry, so was obviously impressed) ) Vicki Portman http://www.plushpants.co.uk > BTW, Ruthie, I asked my Jewish friend if she knew you (my description included " ...early 50s.... very frum .... 8 children " and she said " In her 50s and only 8 children? Can't be that frum! What's she been doing? " - hope this makes you laugh!) and interestingly enough she knew ANOTHER Jewish crime fiction writer from Golders Green! (or are you pseudonymous?)

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 My mum was RC, dad COE - we were baptised Catholic but never taken to church. DH's parents also mum RC, dad COE but him and his B & S were brought up strictly Catholic. When I met DH he took me to Church with him and we have been regular churchgoers ever since. I got confirmed as an adult and all 4 children are being brought up Catholic and attend Catholic school. One thing the church does give me is a sense of community and when the children refer to school and the children there they call it " my school family " which I think is really nice. I know as they get older they may well pull away from the church and that is their choice, but hopefully they will always know that it's there to come back to.
