"'Taint necessarily so".

Today's service, prepared for Sunday, June 28th, 2020 whilst the church is still in lockdown - is led by Jennie Dyster, our President.

Jennie commences her address with the words of a song that is familiar to many. This address is entitled "'taint necessarily so!" - a quote from the character, Sportin'life in Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess.

This podcast is part II of an exploration of two different modes of thinking speaking and acquiring knowledge. These are Logos and Mythos.
In part 1, ironically entitled 'Give that old-time religion' Jennie framed the ascendancy of logic at the expense of myth, as a loss of the ability to process the more elusive puzzling and tragic aspects of human existence.
In Part 2, (this address) entitled "'Taint necessarily so" she explores the dangers of conflating the two modes of thought and the wisdom of keeping them both going, but separate.
'The mind is everything: you are what you think'.
