Wow. I guess kindness must run in the family.
Everybody IS related to everybody else, ya know.......
Yeah, somewhere along the line.
Free McFeely Rogers(not joking -- that's his name) graduated from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and was ordained a minister of the United Presbyterian Church in 1963.
On the one hand, I appreciate the way he avoided overt religious messages on his show but he really was an unapologetic back-door promoter of the sky fairy fantasy.
He said, "I went into television because I hated it so, and I thought there's some way of using this fabulous instrument to nurture those who would watch and listen".
I never had an issue with his religious background. He knew enough to keep it separate.
