The priest was giving a sermon condemning the atrocities by Russia in Ukraine. I wanted to shout that he's a liar — but there's a time and a place for everything. Knowing that the worshippers were being misled and deceived was no surprise intellectually, but I so rarely go inside any ecclesiastical building (childhood allergy hasn't receded) that it really hit me to experience it.
Live. Not. By. Lies.
Been at this cathedral many times. My 8th Great-grandfather was one of Scots captured at the Battle of Dunbar in 1650 and imprisoned within these walls later to be sent to the colonies in America. Boston to be exact then onto Maine. Memorial stone inside this cathedral for the Scottish Prisoners. They suffered here. Many died.
