This summer, you may have been witness to Jody Mukul Mullis's "Dance of the Seven Dish Towels," in which she and Dennis Tromba introduced revelations from Tom Robbins' novel, Skinny Legs and All.  In Skinny Legs, Robbins' character Ellen Cherry Charles has the opportunity to observe a  young woman named Salome do that very famous dance of the seven veils.  For Ellen, during this dance, illusions were shed and seven truths plus one were revealed.  Several had suggested to Rev. Pat that these revelations would make for an interesting sermon series.
