I was thinking about what you wrote about the bible, and women not being allowed to read it, and I thought I'd look into that, and here's something I found.

Nowadays there are bibles everywhere. I wonder what things which are restricted today will be commonplace in the future? Or vice versa.

You've taught cathecism? You really are a true teacher, my friend. That reminds me of Carmen, who was the coordinator of the camp where I worked last month, and representative of the Junta de Castilla La Mancha, and hence my other boss. She teaches at a school in a Spanish village, and she's the only teacher, with kids of all ages, teaching all subjects.

As to the bible stories. I remember when I was 10 years old, Joseph and his amazing technicolour dreamcoat was all the rage. Here's part of the lyrics.

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do.

I sang in the chorus of a school production, and I had to sing ah-oh-ah from time to time. I also had to sing it at family occasions. Such memories.

Glad you found what I sent useful.
