Hello All, Yes still enjoying life in Bretagne but alas it is nearly time to put aside my pleasures and return. Meanwhile... for a reason that now eludes me I was wandering the HWE archives in the year 2000 and came across the previously mention post by our concierge, Andrea. With some snippetting I have elected to repost in its abreviated form. Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 00:51:31 -0800 Subject: [H-W-E] Churches & communities (cont'd) <SNIP>What I have in mind are outlines describing the founding of each church/community in a particular location -- when/why/how it started, how long it remained, how it prospered, etc. <SNIP> In the meantime, I am asking for volunteers who would be willing to post similar histories of churches/communities they are familiar with. If you are interested and would like to give it a try, please contact me off list to let me know. I have listed below some locations and churches (England, France,Ireland, Netherlands). It is by no means a complete list. I would like others to suggest more. For example, I have nothing for Scotland, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, South Africa. Also very little for France and Netherlands. I have listed a lot of churches in England simply because that is the area I am most familiar with. Is anyone willing to provide a brief outline for one of these communities or any others they know about? I hope you will all give it some thought. Let's see what interesting stuff we can come up with.
