Yes, he did a great deal to unite and unify the christian teachings of the day, including the Apostles Creed that fixed the essentials of Christianity. The pity is that at that time the Council threw out an awful lot of other christin thoughts and writings, made hammer-hard decisions about things, like the birth and death of the main character in the story and the virgin birth (3 Centuries after the events were supposed to have happened which is sort of a miracle in itself after such a passage of centuries). Like everyone else we want answers and he and his council were prepared to provide them....while clinging to the MYSTERIES which I perfer and enjoy more. Keep writing, it sometimes clears the head. As ever....Alex (add to the above)

Complete with some doctrinal lessons, some history, some research and some unanswerable questions. It boogies the mind, befuddles it as most religions are intent on doing combined with providing answers. It is the swirl of thoughts that I find amusing like swinging a partner at a square dance! Such Fun!!! Ah what an avid preacher you make! Complete with some doctrinal lessons, some history, some research and some unanswerable questions.

I guess my website will give you all the information about myself and my writing. My novel, Unheard, Unseen... is an adventure involving one of Canada's submarines which begins in of all places, Yarmouth. A friend of mine sent me your site and I have to admit, it's an interesting concept to market an 'area' as opposed to a specific product. Best of luck with the site. Daniel Hi!

I see that my new book is listed with Amazon.ca and although it doesn't have a particular Yarmouth focus, it comes out of my spiritual journey and may be of interest to people in Yarmouth county who know me. The book is- "Turnaround: The Orthodox Purpose Driven Life". Thanks for the good work you do on keeping us informed of what's going on in Yarmouth County.

I always look forward to seeing what is posted, as well as check out the connections. I agree that Yarmouth area has so much to offer and needs to be put on the map more. I certainly enjoy every opportunity to get back for a visit,as well as encourage people here in the South to visit Nova Scotia. Forrest Brian,

A little further afield, I understand that the Muse Acadien in West Pubnico (762-3380) also has quite a bit of information on various Acadian families. It's always advisable to phone ahead so that staff and volunteers can dig out and get together the pertinent information!
