This book tells me that some of the coloured congregation came from the closure of a church in Waterkant Street (not District 6) which happened in 1970 and this in the long term lead to the integration of the mainly white congregation with coloured and black at the Cathedral. <br />My Reuben is very happy to be on display with the others and I smile when I look at him. He is also helping with my 'Back to school' swap - more about that in a future post.DollMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07655612985882320920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980962366285294991.post-40307682269748633762013-08-03T21:47:38.260+01:002013-08-03T21:47:38.260+01:00Thank you for sharing this with us.
You are right,...Thank you for sharing this with us.<br />You are right, sometimes memory plays funny tricks on us and you never know what is going to trigger a recollection like this one.<br /><br />( Thank you also for the kind words on my blog)<br /><br />I am trying to go back to Blogland but I haven't been very creative lately. Still love the dolls though!<br /><br />xxxPapillon Bleuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15003351554230649928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980962366285294991.post-13737805467314894632013-07-31T20:13:41.558+01:002013-07-31T20:13:41.558+01:00This was a lovely blogpost and it just goes to sho...This was a lovely blogpost and it just goes to show that love and respect for others, can overcome even apartheid. Reuben is a lovely little boy and it is a wonderful 'tribute' to the 'real' Reuben that you now have him as part of your Sasha/Gregor family!<br />I tried to post on your last blog spot but something strange happened, so hopefully this one will work!
