Shirley and Carol were best...
Illustration
Shirley and Carol were best friends. They did almost everything together. They sat beside each other in class. They belonged to the same clubs in high school. They even bought the same clothes. One of the few things that Shirley and Carol didn't do together was go to church. Shirley went to a church which talked openly about an individual's need to confess her sins and to be born again. Carol went to a church that didn't talk about being born again. In fact that kind of language made Carol really uncomfortable. It was the only topic that she and Shirley couldn't talk about.
