Alright, as my token *authentically* British friend, I have a question for you. I'm reading a book of Victorian ghost stories, and they keep talking about "dissenting churches". I assume they mean Roman Catholic churches, but have no clue if this is correct. Please help a poor unbibled yank?

I think it refers to all non-anglicans, after Henry 8th's break from the pope. They fell into categories, including puritans, who were attempting to reform the anglican church from within, separatists, who wanted to break from it entirely, baptists and presbyterians, and by some definitions, catholics. There followed the Conventicle Act in 1664, the Five Mile Act in 1995, a civil war, and eventually we got the Declaration of Indulgence in 1672 and the Act of Toleration in 1689 which wound the entire mess up.

Please note that I probably fail history by default. I'm better with computers.

Hi, sorry we didn't get to meet at the Discworld Con. Seems like we have a lot of friends on common.

:-) I'm sorry we missed each other. Perhaps next time? It's taken me a while to get to updating friends list recently, travel kills.

See you when you come back to DC fencers club! Nice to meet you.

November, I hope. It was wonderful to meet you as well! I'll call in advance this time, and book myself a lesson or two.

Okay, _lots_ of flist overlap.

Also: hello! You decorated me at DWcon. I was forward at you. It was lovely to meet you.

*happybounce* Hi! And thank you for so much fun at the 'con! Let us gang up and decorate again. You can probably guess my email address now.

Ello, It's 'Oi You' from DwCon 2010 ^___^

Oi! *grin* The "Pretending to be a girl" was one of the best photos from the 'con.

I missed the occasion, which is something of a shame.
