Today we look at some aspects of the "first Thanksgiving." This interview while normally done in person, was done using social distancing. So we used Skype and it worked quite well. But what about the draconian measures that some leaders are advocating regarding how many people are "allowed" at a Thanksgiving celebration? What if a family has 8 children and wants Grandma and Grandpa to join them? But leaving that, let's look at COVID and the chance of recovery. How does that compare to what the original Pilgrims endured in their times? Did you know that 50% of the Pilgrims died? Wow - now that was indeed pandemic proportions! We look at the interaction of these Pilgrims with the American Indians. What about the food supply? Our guest is an expert on the American Indians, and has a lot of insights. How did the respective peoples hunt? What did they use for the harvesting of deer for example? That brings up an interesting point and that is, is it wrong to kill an animal for food or for clothing? There is a big difference between that and the taking of animal life willy-nilly, for sport. What do we know of these early Puritans? We also spend some time looking at their theology. Our guest has lots of outdoor experience and also leads hikes - so its great to have him with us! Participants: Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf
