Cancelled Commissioner
This article by Mark Thompson may be of interest given the times in which we live. In it, he makes the following comment about the Puritans, "The caricature of the English Puritans that has come down to us is of dour, depressed and depressing kill-joys who did not know how to delight in anything. They banned celebrations, festivals and entertainment, dressed in black, were preoccupied with death, and were so intolerant they cut the head off the king because he did not agree with them. It is a caricature, a distortion of history penned and spread by those who were opposed to the Puritans and all they stood for."
