Hi all. Another quickie.
Council/s are mandated to support my requests as they voted me on. The original draft was, admittedly poor, and later revised into the current request. My research suggests wide support.
COBDO is made up of small Druid Orders and internal anxieties within membership should remain a concern of Council and not anyone else. Relations with EH and NT remain positive and an open attitude is demonstarted by both these trusts and Council. The idea of reburial is more important than individual egos. (COBDO was initiated by Tim Sebastian and later hijacked by others). Groups often experience internal anxieties - what's new, apart from the fact that we are attempting a safe non-violent campaign by a non-violent group of individuals.
It is my understanding that the law permits the reburial of Christian remains from consectrated ground - even if these grounds are now disused. It's fantastic that Christainity seems to respect the long dead - even if no evidence can be demonstrated to show that every person buried in consecrated ground were practicing Christians...
COBDO's request for reburial is based upon ethics and beliefs that are extanct, and should therefore be considered within a modern context. How many times do I have to say this? Initiation, however, does indeed bring the neophyte intom the collective family... unless you are able to disprove this...
For references to Shanks and Tilly, check out Reconstructing Archaeology: Theory and Practice - I read it the other day.
