As you will all know, the Beaker People are a group unafraid to celebrate the breadth of our religious heritage. Oh yes. Although we mostly settle for stones and tea lights.
But this morning's Puritan Worship was a challenge for many of us. We eschewed the colour, vibrancy and - let's be frank - lack of spiritual discipline that we're familar with. And instead we embraced the simplicity and austerity that is Puritan worship.
I'll be honest. We didn't really enjoy it. And it made the Puritan pretty anxious as well. Which is a shame. After all, it took us weeks to find a proper Puritan - and to have him disappear screaming into the woods like that and screaming that we all idolaters when we started worshipping him was quite alarming. Perhaps we hadn't explained the distinction between dulia and latria to him properly?
