Then my extended family, there are preachers and evangelists, former priests. So I have quite a bit of history with Church, religion and spirituality.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was born into a family of preachers.
I grew up in a very fundamentalist, evangelical Christian household. Both my parents were born-again - their faith infused every aspect of my childhood. I'll probably spend most of my life working through that.
I come from a religious family - my father is a pastor, my uncle, my sister and her husband are a pastor team.
I grew up in a somewhat religious family. My dad's family isn't religious at all, but my mom's side of the family is, so I was exposed to church a bit.
I grew up in church, and I have a wonderful family that always supported that.
I grew up in the Midwest and had a lot of exposure to big religion. I went to church every Sunday - my mother even sang in the choir - and most families I knew where practicing Christians.
I attended Sunday School and then church with my father and mother throughout my childhood.
I had a big event in my personal life. Then I reevaluated and started going to theology class, and then I found my husband.
I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.
My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.
