My husband (we married in a Unitarian church in 1970) was an unbeliever and not baptized until about 3 years ago, when he was, quite spontaneously after his father's funeral, baptized in the Episcopal church. Now he attends a conservative, and very evangelical Anglican parish. I attend a Byzantine Catholic Church. Usually we both attend both parishes, but we don't receive communion in each other's churches. <BR/>Susan Peterson<BR/><BR/>Susan Petersoneulogoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975120700184179765noreply@blogger.com
