So it went from nobody but Christians could hold office, to only Christians and Jews could hold office. When could Muslims hold public office in Maryland?
Seems like Jews and Christians held a lot of privilege compared to other minorities.
But to be honest, it's very rare that people meet a partner after starting while knowing nobody in a karate club. I don't know anyone who has met their partner like that.
