He felt the church he loved had not lived up to its principles in those instances. But just because because bad things had happened did not mean he wanted to throw over his whole faith.

I’m looking forward to MHA, and this volume. Polly, your participation in the volume really makes it something that I’ll keep my eye out for.

Mon, 23 May 2011 18:45:18 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=12444#comment-66836 I suspect that Brother Hicks changed his mind about that final paragraph–else why should he have chosen to be re-baptized and have his temple and priesthood blessings restored?

Glad to see that happy days had, in his estimation at least, returned again as he neared the end of his ninth decade of life!

I’ve seen them mentioned often in passing, but rarely with this amount of detail, which is a shame, since the dances would have been a big part of their lives. Thanks for the post!
