I was raised Catholic, but my father's people were Methodist, so we went to both churches.

I was brought up Methodist, christened as a little baby and went to church every Sunday.

My dad was a Methodist minister.

I was born into a family of preachers.

I grew up in the United Methodist Church, and church was always a very big part of my growing up.

I grew up in the church. I was raised in the church.

It certainly was unusual growing up with two fairly well-known pastors as my parents.

My dad was a pastor, so we were in church all the time.

I grew up in the Methodist church. My wife grew up in the Baptist church. And wives get everything they want. So we got married in the Baptist church.

My Methodist upbringing was very formative in my politics. I was born in 1969, and there was all this ecumenical 'we're in this together' sensitivity that was part of the United Methodist Church in the 1970s.
