[Magdalen] Baptism question

[Allan Carr]

A number of us at All Saints, Pasadena, converted to Zen Buddhism and practiced it at the Zen Center in LA.. Nobody questioned our adherence to both faiths.
My recollection is that an Episcopal priest elsewhere who converted to also being a priest in Zen had his Episcopal orders questioned. I don’t know what happened in that case.
