Kerry, thanks for the explanation.

I'm an Anglican and we also observe "no meat on Fridays" and the Lenten traditions such as fasting but many no longer partake in full.

I loved comparing the similarities and diffrences between the religions and take the basic belief that if someones faith in a religion makes them a better person and better fellow man then that is what is right for them. I find it hard to take the belief that I am right and someone who fundamentally believes the same thing but just practices it differently is wrong ...

Yes, I agree with you there.

Edited to change "fish" to "meat" (DER)
