It was good to see a pretty decent number online for the lunchtime lecture last Monday, looking at Robert "Troublechurch" Browne the separatist pioneer. This Evangelical Library lecture was based on the chapter I prepared for the Mayflower book last year. It was good to go through the material again. Audio and audiovisual recordings are available from the Library. That is the third and final lecture of the current series. I hope we will be able to do something similar in the Autumn. On June 7 David McKay will be giving our annual lecture on The Diet of Worms.

Day off Week 21 2020

This week's day off was okay but a bit bitty. I am trying to finish this Tom Holland book Persian Fire but didn't get too far. It was very warm yesterday. Another distraction was radio podcasts done by Louis Theroux. Fairly interesting, I guess. See here. At some point I read an obituary for Astrid Kircher at 81 (part of the Beatles story). In the evening we watched the last part of a Netflix series Unorthodox, which was interesting and quite moving. See here. I also began an assault on a manuscript I am hoping to make fit for publishing on Amazon. As for the book contribution I mentioned last time two good things - the cover is now prepared - see here. I was also notified that the first seven volumes of the Transactions of the Congregational Historical Society are online. They contain eight articles on my subject. Nice providence. See here.
