others' views, beliefs, and practices without prejudice. It means that the views, beliefs,
and practices of others don't have to change or threaten our own. It means not allowing
ourselves to be affected negatively by others' choices, but recognizing that they are not
our choices." Hazeldon My Catholic daughter has disowned me for teaching our children not to fear or feel prejudice of other religions so that I will "never have the opportunity to influence my children to change their religion." She admits I've never done that to anyone yet, "but you might"...

"If we have been immersed in our

| My family is very eclectic regarding their
spirituality. I was raised Protestant, became Catholic at age 24 after 5 years of marriage
to my Catholic husband, became Wiccan
at age 39, and now call myself Wiccan Catholic. My twin sister was agnostic then became Mormon. She and I used to visit each other's church activities. We didn't have a problem with it. Most Catholics and Mormons didn't have a problem with it. However, there were always the few shocked that we would walk into each other's church activities and the few that felt they must try to convert one or the other. My oldest children were raised Catholic. My oldest daughter's family is Catholic My son's family is Mormon. My youngest daughters are being raised Catholic and attend their father's Episcopalian Church. I introduced a Wiccan ritual for our New Year's family celebration. |
