Reply #105: My sister [View All]

was told that her children (born while she was married, mind you) couldn't be baptised because - get this - she hadn't been married in a church. The person instructing her about this meant that quite literally - in a church building.

Yes, she hadn't actually been married in the church, as her husband had been previously divorced. So the nitwit was going to turn away two children seeking baptism because of that? I'm glad the chaplain from our old HS was perfectly willing to baptise both kids at his church, but sheesh.

And I've known several friends who are not Episcopalian, but were married by an Episcopal priest, for similar reasons.
