Dear me. Quite apart from my own reading, life with "my daughter the theologian" leads inexorably to the questions "Which ones? When are you talking about?" Currently we both have a liking for the situation in Gaul in Late Antiquity - Christians attending the synagogues as well as the churches (because they liked the sermons)*; drop-outs living in communes (nuns). And we're both fascinated by the cyclical nature of religion in England: the recurring pattern of claims that organised religion has lost the place and there should be a return to the message of the Gospel against a background of continuity. So which is "traditional" for England? York Minster, Westminster Abbey and Canterbury, or the Lollards and their heirs?
