    3. My ancestors were Catholic (one built a Catholic Church in Washington, DC in early 1800), Presbyterian, Methodists, Baptist, and Episcopalian. I was raised a Methodist; however, in Sherman, Tx in the fifties, we were very ecumenical. One of my very best friends was a Nazarene; another was Jewish. I attended Mass at Christmas and New Year's. My Catholic friends attended the Methodist Youth fellowship, because it's was the hottest place in town. I looked up "sacrament" in the dictionary. "1: a formal religious act that is sacred as a sign or symbol of a spiritual reality. " I thought this info might be helpful to some of you. Also, baptism, as defined by the dictionary, can be either Christian or non-Christian. It is a purification. Hope this helps.
