This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's nominally Episcopalian... by Scoop80
In my time, the school day started w/ chapel, and there was a 1-semester theology requirement. The text was C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity." It was taught by the school chaplain--Fr. O'Brien. A "Fr. O'Brien" who was married and had kids was an utterly foreign concept to me.
On the whole, it was visibly less Epsicopalian than Marist was Catholic. At Marist, we regularly said an Our Father and/or a Hail Mary before classes. Day before '73 USC game, the son of Jack Connor (and nephew of George Connor) suggested that we pray for a ND win the next day when we stood up for the Our Father at start of history class.
Maybe 20-25% of the SAS students were Jewish then. I have no clue as to what it's like now.
