The Unitarian

Flying home I sat next to a cheerful woman about to get married in a non-church setting. She and her fiance were raised by Lutheran parents. Her parents fell away and raised her Unitarian, which she still is. She says she can tell when she misses the Sunday service, where they explore all kinds of different perspectives. It grounds her. She asked for my advice on marriage, and I said she should have kids within the first two years. She was also pleasant about asking what attracted me so much to Catholicism. I have to say, I couldn't think of anything brilliant, so I said it was the depth and the liberation. I said I wish everyone could experience the release of confession.
