Today's Random Observation

I just finished a first pre-marital counseling session with a very sweet couple. As always, I had them take the Prepare/Enrich inventory.

I usually scan through a few areas to make sure there aren't any glaring issues. As I did so, I noticed something which I have seen many times before.

Under "religious affiliation," there are four choices.
a.) Catholic
b.) Jewish
c.) Protestant
d.) Other

This couple chose "other." This couple is Protestant. This happens all the time. I assume they notice the absence of the word "Lutheran" and figure that "other" is their best choice.

Meanwhile, the people who score these things probably think I'm running a Wiccan retreat center out here.

I never realized so many people didn't comprehend "protestant." No judgment on my part. Just a random observation.
