momof2cubs Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Turtle: that reminds me of my husband's policy. He said that when he was growing up, if you showed up to church at Christmas, Easter, and one additional time, you were considered an "active" church member.

Tampa Turtle Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I belonged to one UMC church in Tampa that stated that attendance was optional on Sundays when Tampa Buccaneer home games starting with 1pm kick-offs. That was so folks could beat the traffic (2 miles away). I grew up in a south florida neighborhood as a the only catholic kid in a predominantly jewish neighborhood so I try to be sensitive of the majority/minority issues. I often was the only non-jewish kid to show up in my 4th grade class. In public school in those days (before "winter fests") we did Hanukkah instead of Christmas. I lived to tell the tale. Our public school we had a strong willed PTA president who started omitting the "under God" in the Pledge at the beginning of the meetings. Man you the next meeting the parents practically shouted the missing words during the pledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
