Come again? Barney Smith takes a second look

‘Britain in the 1650s was in a period of heightened spiritual awareness, but it wasn’t the end of time.’

I recently re-read Heaven on Earth, that remarkable collaboration between Timothy Peat Ashworth, Douglas Gwynn and Ben Pink Dndelion. They were all tutors at Woodbrooke in 1997 and brought three strands of scholarship together. Timothy Peat Ashworth brought his enthusiasm for the teaching of Paul the apostle and his research into Paul’s original message. Douglas Gwynn brought his admiration for the witness of early Quakers and his research into their original message. Ben Pink Dandelion brought both his Quaker faith and his knowledge of research into Quakerism.
