Pandemics and Piety: How Our Distant Ancestors Reacted to Widespread Disease

PANDEMICS AND PIETY: HOW OUR DISTANT ANCESTORS REACTED TO WIDESPREAD DISEASE by Richard Thieret
Sunday 11am EDT by Zoom

Throughout recorded history, spiritual people have reacted to diseases and plagues by blaming sinners, inventing gods and goddesses, and pleading with them for better times. Come hear and see the results of Richard Thieret’s recent research into our distant ancestors’ religious practices in times of plagues. Be prepared to join in the fun.
