[Dialogue] Daniel Quinn and the future of civilization

[LAURELCG@aol.com]

Lucille,

Your reply to Sunny prompted me to try to find my copy of Ishmael, which 
inspired me at the time I read it, but it's been a long time.  I did read Margaret 
Starbird's books on the Magdalene Heresy and found them fascinating.  The 
discussion group we had at the local Presbyterian Church (about a year ago) on 
the DaVinci Code drew the largest crowd (people from other towns, even) than 
I've ever seen there.  People wanting to be reassured, for the most part, that 
our foundations aren't really rotten to the core.  Since I am a tolerated 
heretic, I really enjoyed it.  I do think most men and women who are still in church 
underestimate the hurt done to women by its patriarchal teachings through the 
centuries.  I include protestant churches.

Thanks, Lucille, for being here.

Love and blessings,
Jann McGuire
