Not to me. I've probably said that before.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, good, as long as it's not just me. A coworker thought it was weird, and I don't know her religious background.

I probably wouldn't use it, but that's only because quakers don't tend to refer to their services/structure as church. I am always stating that I grew up quaker, but if I am speaking to someone familiar with quakerism, I might say the meeting I grew up in. Use it mainly to differentiate from the current state of affairs, which is none.

Because books.
I'm so used to the meetings in this area of PA, and the many many Friends schools, that if you said that to me, I'd get it.

Yeah, out here it is a little more familiar. In NM? NSM. It occurs to me I don't hear "the mosque/temple I grew up in" really. But that could be my sample size. And the fact there was one temple in my hometown. And if there was a mosque...well, probably was one on campus, but I actually didn't know of one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The church I grew up in
It sounds a little strange to me, but I know what you mean. Growing up Catholic, not a lot of church shopping goes on (unless you're looking for the latest mass possible.)

I don't know, my town had the Irish Catholic church and the Polish Catholic church (although the only question that mattered was whether you went to the 1st Congregationalist or not).

Wow. His eyes are really fabulous there. And his mouth.
(unless you're looking for the latest mass possible.)
Saturday 5 p.m. mass was big in my town, because once you were in high school, you could go, grab a bulletin, hang out somewhere until after 6, and then go home and wave the bulletin at your parents.
I had a lot of Catholic friends with gullible parents.
