[Photo by Larkin Hammond on Unsplash] For about eighteen months I have posted on most Sunday evenings a snippet of my life as a Baptist. My stated purpose was to pay homage to the people and places that formed me as a Christian, to acknowledge the good I gained. Some of you have followed and commented faithfully, and I appreciate that more than you can know. I have other stories of hurt and harm, and this is not the place for them. So I believe I’ve come to the end of this particular road. If there’s something else you’d like me to blog about (I can go on for quite a while about the Methodist deaconess movement of the 1800s or medieval women mystics!) feel free to suggest it. All of the entries here will remain, probably for a long time. I’ll continue posting in the blogs about my reading life and the (official) saints of the church. Thanks again for reading!

Baptist GirlI was a conservative Baptist girl who grew up to become a career Christian, working first in a Baptist school and then in a Baptist college. For about three decades, it was very good until it wasn’t, and I had to leave. But the Baptists formed me. This is my homage to the good times and good people of the world I left, finally, at forty-three, when I became an Episcopalian. These are my memories; others might disagree with my recollections. So be it. Archives
