[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn't have to take "classes" for our Episcopal church. We had been going to church there, though. Not sure what it means to be a "member" - as a PP said, they had my name and phone number.

Not all churches are super formal. In our church, you don't have to be super dressed up, we have a nursery for the babies and a Sunday school from 3 up. Children are welcome at the service. There's a decent number of "frazzled" parents there, where it's clear they got up, possibly ran a comb through their hair, and came to church. The kids run around the fellowship hall after the service.  One reason I kept going was having somewhere to go with other people when my kid had gotten up at five anyway.

If you're looking for Cathoilc church, go to thr Saturday evening mass . Catholics will have more requirements. [/quote]

Lutheran, not Episcopalian, but I think most denominations have a ritual of some sort for membership.  Lutherans (whose services are fairly similar to Episcopalian ones) definitely do.  Being a member is more than just giving them your name and phone number.

Truly can't believe the liturgically rich Epis. church does not have a formal rite of membership.[/quote]
