Mary Anne Stokes reflects on this and recommends the film For The Bible Tells Me So, as it presents the stories of many such people, who were not welcomed to the house of God.

Why does one always have to click on a second page to reach an article linked from the front page of this site? If an article needs a longer introduction than can be placed on the front page, couldn’t that intro be placed above the article, on the same page?
It is a fair point but such is the structure of the WordPress Blog (which this page technically is). In the early days we tried to have the article on the second page but it became difficult to read and print. Having articles as PDFs allow easier downloads, easier print offs and ultimately a greater reach of readers both on and offline.
