If you had another faith before your current faith, what was it, what if anything do you still like about it? If you've had the same faith all your life, have you ever thought about changing or has it never crossed your mind?
My mother regarded Episcopalianism as a straightforward part of good manners, so when of tender years I was packed off to the local Sunday School. It would be easy to turn the experiences of the young me into an adult tale of a skeptical onlooker, but in fact I tried to understand why I was there, and what about me might pass for a desirable sunbeam, or how we're bid to shine like a little candle burning in the night, or one about hearing the coins dropping (presumably into a wooden collection box) in aid of the missionaries. However it'd be no exaggeration to say I never connected with the system, never warmed to the man who took the class (who wasn't the minister but a fat lawyer with an oily smile), and after not too long went to some lengths to avoid the loss of my Sunday afternoons. Success came with the discovery that if I parked my bike round the side of the house, and helped my mother clear the table after Sunday midday meal (the roast), there'd be a moment when I could vanish unnoticed out the laundry door and make my escape. My perseverance triumphed after not too long.
However, that wasn't quite the end of it. When I was 14 and confirmation classes were in the wind, I had the feeling that the only way all of this stuff could make sense was if they knew something I didn't, and so whatever it was, it'd be revealed to me when I became an insider, joined the club as it were. So I signed up for confirmation classes. These were disappointing; my questions, arising from a genuine curiosity, about life after death were brushed away with 'We'll come to that later' or 'It's all in your catechism' ─ which of course we didn't and it wasn't. Anyway, I was confirmed, nothing happened in the month following, and so that adventure fizzled out.
There's still a sense in which I'm a cultural Pisco. I find at Pisco funerals I know the words of the hymns, I think that
if you get the right minister, church services are as good a way as any to mark a marriage or a death (no worse than civil ceremonies, and better suiting various members of my extended tribe). When the Piscos get themselves in the headlines for the usual wrong reasons I sigh for the nearest thing I have in religion for my team.
