As a child, in the first four grades, I went to a two room school house. I had to descend a gravel lane used for foot traffic to reach the school on the same location as one of the earliest school houses in the city.
Along the lane, we passed what was called, by generations of students, Pulpit Rock. This was a huge rock with what appeared to be a pulpit and choir loft. We climbed up in it and pretended to deliver sermons, and sang in the "choir." There were accounts of similar generations of students doing the same as far back as the 1700s, almost 250 years. I read accounts of those days in the old newspapers at the city library.
As we grew up it became quite evident to me that the adults were still playing pretend church as grown ups. Hence the title of this blog.
Later they built homes along the lane and Pulpit Rock was blown up.
