TOO MANY...Like most places, when we first moved in, they all; wanted to know what church we went to and if we wanted to visit theirs--When word got out we attended the Episcopal Church most were stymied..then I said it was the one downtown with the RAINBOW flag--OH...they said and the conversation was done---never to be mentioned again.
AND, it is the only church in the county (besides the AME) that has a minister who is not like WONDER BREAD...

Is that the norm to be asked what church you go to? I think I have been asked maybe two or three times and I have moved 13 times since I have been married and 5 times before that.

I know it is in North Carolina. Every weekend when we went to breakfast, the conversation was always about church and where you went. Kind of like how they determined if you were "good."
We learned that it was best to say we attended a church many miles from where ever we were--so if we were in Smithfield, we said we went to some church in Lillington, where they probably knew nothing about so the questions stopped. The worse was to say we did not go to church--because we we still "looking."
I was surprised it happened here in Michigan, but given it is TEA COUNTRY, it makes sense.
