What were I?

Many times I’ve been asked: “What was I before I became Episcopalian?” Seems that’s one of the questions posed to each of us with more than some frequency. I guess that’s because so many of us reached the Episcopal Church from another denomination.

Having never really had the proper answer, it came to me this past Sunday.

“I’m actually a cradle Episcopalian who happened to be orphaned to the Baptist Church for a time in my youth.”
