Having spent a short time in Belfast with a friend who lives there, I
noticed that the Republicans mark their territories with the Irish flag
and the Unionists with the Union Jack. Not much religion there. I know
there are some Catholic Unionists and some Protestant Republicans. It
must be very hard for them. Lydia
PS I agree with Sally. There are times in the evening when Pilgrims sit
around a table having a bit of wine and exchanging views. The topics are
varied and opinions reflect the pilgrims's frame of reference. It's a
great learning opportunity. We don't have to agree but we should be polite.
