Hi all, Much to our relief, we heard from the friend who has had the appendectomy; he will be able to attend after all (wonders of drive-thru surgery and new...
These thoughts make me look forward to reading "Scandalous Risks" again. It was the first one I read in the series. Now I know it will really be interesting...
... I am glad to hear you will be able to relax during your retreat and not spend it mostly organizing. I was intrigued by what you wrote about the Fordites...

... They're a preparation of magnesium sulphate used as a purgative. Certainly they are not used to ease sore muscles as you're liable to feel rather weak and...
Horrors! It sounded like -- to put it as delicately as possible -- the insides of those hung over were managing to purge their insides well enough without any...
So very sad that the first and only time I am jumping in after all these months is to comment on Epsom salts!! :) Many people do use them in a tub of very warm...
Has anyone else been struck by the oddity that for a very Protestant-oriented clergyman (who avoids the word "priest" like the proverbial plague) the Bible...
Neville's a Protestant, but not an evangelical and/or mystic. So the rituals and traditions of the church are probably more significant to him than the Bible....
I've always thought that Neville was also meant to be more of a Biblical "modernist" than the others. I think it would fit in with the period. This period...
Very good point. In fact, you're right. When my husband and I met, in the Episcopal seminary back in 1960 (very modernist: Neville/Stephen would have been very...
Hi Lucia, Just curious, which seminary? Peace, Dianne Si Se Puede/Uati ixi ukuarhini ... Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A for great tips from...
... Yes, I do think it is -- especially when you hear what people who knew him when he was young "speak" in the book and we learn how he started out very...
... I returned the book to the library, but Em and Mercy reminded me of what my aunt had told me once. She said that women in the past, and single women...
That's why parents should be good to their children - I know of a lady whose sister and brother and she practically fought to have their aging mom with them!...
I just finished UP while on vacation. Probably the third time I've read this and was once again face to face with my own demons - an experience I have...
Hello - I was referred to the group by the Kathryn Swyford group - always fascinated by anything pertaining to the history of England and the people, places...
Welcome to the group Francine. Are you perhaps an SH fan who prefers the historical novels or do you like all her books? We have members in every section,...
Hi Francine, Welcome to this list. I have enjoyed the Church of England books (Starbridge and the later St. Benidicts). I am an Episcopalian from the U.S. ...
Hi all, Well, we're back from our Benedictine Experience retreat (if anyone wants to know more about it just email me offlist) and it went beautifully. Our...
I have just been listening to a fascinating discussion on the "Forum" of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco between the Dean, Alan Jones (moderator) -- who could...

Can we take the fact that the list has appeared to be as dead as a dodo for well over a week as far as any discussion exchanges are concerned as a sign that...
Hi all, Let's face it, there has been no discussion for well over a week. It seems to me that our plan to discuss the Starbridge novels in order just doesn't...
I'm sorry, I only meant to send one message but hit the wrong key with the first message. I thought the first one had vanished into cyberspace and didn't get...
Hello all - I just finished reading all six Starbridge novels in succession. I usually speed read but this time I read word for word. Sometimes I found this...
I say don't give up, but move on to Scandalous Risks. It is a bit zippier, with Venetia as the narrator. I've started it and am finding it an easier read. It...
Hello, Everyone! I'm Dorothy, and I've just joined the group today. I just happened on the group, doing a web search on "Howatch." I'm 64 and a part time...
