WESTMINSTER WEST-My recent essay in The Commons revealed the unique position of Vermont as a seedbed of significant religious movements.
I want to acknowledge that the seed for that fascinating idea was a late friend, Ken Dean. Ken was a longtime Vermont political activist, with a spiritual bent.
It was his passing remark in a conversation that stimulated my interest in this aspect of Vermont's religious heritage. The reference to "seven farmhouses" was his description.
Bravo, Ken Dean, and thank you!
