As ever, I love your reflections, but may I please take issue with one of your comments about the Pilgrim Fathers and Mothers? "Carrying with them their disastrous life denying brand of Christianity which went on to infest the entire continent"
The descendants of the pilgrims fanned out in many directions, into communities preaching disastrous life denying brands of Christianity, but also into many liberal and life-affirming religious communities, including the original East Coast Unitarian, later UU, communities.
Sending love and blessings from this Unitarian in Sheffield xx
Forgive me, Maud. I was a bit harsh. I think I was responding to a memory of the Plymouth Brethren and really damaging effect thheir beliefs had on the women I loved. I met so many progressive and courageous pastors on my journey…Looking forward to seeing you in Sheffield soon…xxx
My goodness, jo, you blew me away with Losing Venice here. ‘Unclear/lost’ acts of plays are maybe never lost, they’re just waiting for their time of meaning to come…
AND - thank you for that wonderful quotation from your prophetic play :-)
I loved Provincetown too.
