A quotation from Emerson

Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2

Richard Davis and Revival in #Northamptonshire – a review https://edintone.com/richard-davis-nonconformist-revival-northamptonshire/ Stephen Pickles’s book offers a valuable exploration of #nonconformist life beyond #London in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The book traces his influence from #Rothwell across a network of satellite meetings that extended into several regions of England. His effective ministry, published writings, and theological controversies left a lasting—if sometimes complex—legacy.

Don't be afraid of being different. Be afraid of being the same as everyone else. Be yourself.

Church or Chapel? https://edintone.com/church-or-chapel/ “Are you church or chapel?”

It sounds like a small question today. But well into the twentieth century in England, it revealed a great deal about a person — their beliefs, their community, even their social identity. #church #chapel #nonconformist #ListedBuildings

A quotation from Thoreau

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 18 “Conclusion” (1854)

Remembering Anne (Dudley) Bradstreet for International Women's
Day.

Many Americans will know that Anne was America's first poet to get into print, and in a big way too. What is not so widely known is Anne was probably born in #Northampton, England in 1612, the daughter of Thomas Dudley and Dorothy Yorke (married at Hardingstone, #northamptonshire in 1603). The Dudleys were a #Puritan #nonconformist family. #InternationalWomensDay

I’m related to Elizabeth Taylor, not the actress, but a non-conformist born on 10 March 1735 in Westminster, London. Elizabeth and her husband John Teek were founder members of the Countess of Huntington’s Connexion, a society founded in 1783 by Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntington (pictured). Non-conformism is a strong trait in my family.

I appear to be in a minority of folks I run into (work, radio, online, etc.) who has more doubts than enthusiasm about AI. But, then, I almost always am. ("Pandemic? There's not going to be a pandemic, you're paranoid... Red Flag warning and wildfires? Why do you worry about that stuff?... Climate change? Why are you worried about that?) #nonconformist

The old chapel, Byfleets Lane, #Warnham, West Sussex was built by a sect called the Society of Dependents or #Cokelers in 1874 and continued in use until about 1976. It is now a private house. The small denomination was started in #Loxwood in 1861 and subsequently spread to a number of villages in West Sussex and Surrey. #NonConformist
