JWB and God

[Lincoln Wonk]

Asia Clarke told a great story about the Booth family and religion. She said a religious woman who lived nearby showed up at the Booth home one day wanting to convert the heathen Booth children. Mary Ann Booth was furious. She was an Episcopalian, and her children were raised in her faith as well as their father's various beliefs and they were sent to St. Timothy's to prepare for Confirmation.
