                      Sandemanianism.

                      Extraordinary that the last Elder of the Church died as recently as 1999...



                      William Godwin and Michael Faraday were both Sandemanians.

                        I like the sound of them but it is even stranger that the wonderful Shakers have survived longer than them.

                        One connection between your two movements is Southwark.

                        Michael Faraday was born in Southwark.

                        My Mum went to Michael Faraday School in Southwark on the few days when there were no bombs.

                        And the Muggletonians met in Southwark.

                          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
