Yep. It shows you exactly what is so bad about having a national church.
True. They have a rich and lengthy history, often intermingled. I see them as two distinct cultures even through all of those ties. My mother's family officially moved from Scotland to Ireland and intermarried after a time. I don't know why they moved to Scotland. Records weren't kept.
