Willitnever end
Thanks for the explanation
It’s funny because we go to wales a lot, so I feel I know it much better than Scotland ( great grandparents from Glasgow and grandfather from lochgelly)
So, on our many drives up the welsh valleys, particularly the Rhondda, there’s loads of old unusual named churches, off the top of my head, apart from Presbyterian, Methodist, anabaptist I think there’s some called Bethesda
It really fascinated me. Somethings they are Side by side with one another.
I think I find it unusual because in a small village they seem to stand out more.
I know nothing about them, so please excuse my ignorance but I wonder if they could be stricter in how they deliver guidelines to the flock.
I was almost brought up Almost irreligious, as dad was a lapsed Catholic and mum c of e. The only way the Catholic Church would marry them was if they had no hymns or flowers, mum must’ve said, sod that and they married in a pretty c of e church instead. I went to an ordinary state school and had little in the way of religious upbringing
So maybe I find it a bit easier to bend the rules, if they don’t make sense I don’t know.
Dh is a lapsed Catholic and he wants absolutely nothing to do with religion ( apologies to any religious people on here) and he can be a bit of a rule breaker, without too much encouragement from me.
It’s very interesting willitneverend about you mentioning the churches because I was thinking along the same lines Myself.
This strictly adhering to rules, that don’t make sense has to come from somewhere...doesnt it?
Well that and the fear that’s now been instilled in a lot of people that if they so much as step outside their front door, they are doomed.
