Makes me think of "Helliconia", by Brian Aldiss. Humanity on a planet that has 800-yr-long seasons. Civilization and culture become very cyclical as society is stunted by living in caves for the long, dark winter then flourishes in summer. Dark ages followed by enlightenments followed by dark ages.

Wolfe once said that Severian's "Book of Gold" that he carries is Vance's "The Dying Earth".

Leaders at Sherman Street CRC have created a chart breaking down polity, positions, and bylaws for each of those three denominations. They'll send it to you if you ask for it.

I'm not sure if ECO permits agreeing to disagree, but the pastor of the first ECO Presbyterian Church in Kentwood, MI is from the CRC/CTS and on Twitter critiqued the end of Synod 2023 as "weaponized compassion" used to delay the gravamen vote. They also describe themselves as Orthodox.

YES! And that means a lot, coming from you. *respect*

1. Spatial Reasoning. Architect. Gauging sizes/distances of objects/spaces... an expert packer/arranger/navigator.
2. Proofreading. Typos, bad punctuation, and misplaced modifiers blink at me.
3. Memory for certain things, such as everyone's name from my kindergarten class. Otherwise ADHD.
