I was a methodist (United Church in Canada), Florence was RC, we no longer attend church since it iss our personal opinion that the churches have more interest themselves as organizations than they do in teaching. I have briefly studied other religions and found some interesting thoughts, Frex "That which is unpleasant to you, do not to your neighbor. That is the whole law and the rest but it's exposition" from Rabbi Hillel.

It was fairly late in life when I realized that to love thy neighbour as thyself implicity requires that you love yourself, elso loving others is impossible. I did not learn any of that in any church. Thuogh when I was attending standards meetings or lecturing abroad I would go to evensong - just to hear the organ, the king of instruments.
