[Magdalen] Strange Christmas

[Marion Thompson]

Clarissa,

There's room for us all here in the Pub and every voice is of value.  We
each find our own level in those theological discussions and many of  us
remain silent.  Don't worry about it.

Hoping to see you around and I wish you a good 2020 rich with blessings,
known and unknown.

Marion, a pilgrim
