I wonder what was meant by equality when I sit in the meeting house, confronted by the blatant inequality expressed in the raised up and separated elders benches. And that expressed in the very loaded terms, "Elders" and "Overseers" which had such more powerful resonance for our forebears than they do for us today.<br />Thankyou for your thought provoking and interesting review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
