My mother’s family is Christian: her father was a Baptist lay preacher, and her brother, in a leap of Anglican upward mobility, became a vicar in the Church of Wales.

The Roman Catholic Church is for saints and sinners alone - for respectable people, the Anglican Church will do Picture Quote #1

I had come out of a church that was filled with petty arguments and hatred. I just wanted to meet with some friends and worship with them Picture Quote #1
