You're in England?  :)

Julie, thanks. I grew up Lutheran instead of AOG, but a lot of what you say
resonates with me: Church and Sunday School, Catechism Classes, parents in
the choir and on the church council, a life immersed in religion. I remember
when I, too, would have rejected the separation of church and state, since
it seemed self-evident that religion must be the whole of life. Then came
disillusionment, philosophy, anthropology, sex. And nearly three decades now
living in a country where nearly three-quarters of the population seems
utterly indifferent to religion, except as a source of occasional fun during
the New Year holidays or at shrine festivals.
Peace be with you,

John
