The struggle continues: Uhtred and Mildrith, Law and grace. The honeymoon is over. There is no reconciliation. Uhtred will never be accepted because he can’t turn a blind eye toward conflicting information in the church. Mildrith won’t budge from tradition and her church is shaming everyone and anyone who doesn’t fit their mold. Again, fear keeps people under control. Why do people blindly follow a tradition or culture without knowing the root of why we do what we do. If we truly understood why we do what we do, we wouldn’t need a law. Charity and grace can overcome fear and control.
