being nosy ;o) (abput religion)

July 2, 2001

I was wondering.. I know (obviously) that Ruthie is Jewish and I must admit that

until last night I had kind of assumed that most of you would be COE (until I

got to think about my friend who was raised a Methodist and dh was raised a

Baptist) so this made me nosy/curious.. what religion are you all and do you go

to church?

I am a Lutheran Protestant (am what in Denmark is called " the Danish peoples

church " - kind of eq to COE) I do occasionally go to church (the Danish church

is in Regents park) and the girls are both christened there, the priest in the

Danish church is lovely and I do enjoy taking time out to go up there (But it is

1 hour drive) after service there is a coffee table next door that around 12-30

turns into a Danish lunch that is great fun ;o) (and cheap) The girls will be

raised in the Lutheran Protestant faith. I will have to say that whilst this is

very like COE there ARE differences (dh says he finds the Danish church far more

liberal than the COE is - his words not mine ) The Danish church run a

Saturday school and I am hoping that the girls will get to go there when they

are a little older (not a school as such more a place for Danish children to

meet and speak Danish with each other) Only " problem " I ever have with being LP

is that when I have a form filled in " for " me (like when you go into hospital

etc.) they tick COE and I have to say I AM NOT COE.. not that there is anything

wrong with this but I would not like a COE priest to attend me should they feel

the need to call a priest I would want the Danish priest to do this, (that is

really the only reason why I object LOL)

Dh was raised a strict Baptist (church twice on Sundays and at least 2 church

things during the week) his parents say grace before dinner and I am certain do

a prayer before bedtime. Dh seriously rebelled against this in his late

teenager years and today describes himself as a Aseatist (sp?) he is however ok

about the kids being raised as LP so I don't think this is a accurate way to

describe it..

Now please note I am NOT trying to open a can of worms here and definitely not

trying to get people to defend their choice of religion I just often notice some

of you mention your church group or having been to service and other stuff and

it simply made me curious about what faith you all are ;o)

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.
