Hi I agree with the notion that The Reformation encouraged people to escape the limitations imposed by the Pope and Catholic orthodoxy etc., and thus helped to bring about a freer world. What about the descendants of the Huguenots, are they still believers in the literal truth of the Bible, or has their independence of mind, inevitably, taken them more in the direction of agnosticism? How do you see your ancestors? If you could speak with them, do you think you could find common ground? Martin. -- Martin moslins1@fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm... Fastmail...
