Marcia was raised in the Lutheran church. Her father was a Lutheran pastor. In college, she says she became a wild eyed Charismatic. For a while, after she was married they attended a Non-denominational church in Dayton, Ohio. After moving to Virginia, they began to attend an Anglican parish where she thrived in her faith. Devisions of Christians and how to interpret Holy Scripture made her to seek an authoritative voice. Her search led her on a journey that drew her to the Catholic Church.
