Today is also the feast day of Saint Zenna Henderson, who was born on All Saints’ Day, 1917. The Adherents.com website says she was a Mormon, but the printed reference work Contemporary Authors
(written when she was still alive and could defend herself against any
accusation of Mormonism) says she was a Methodist. Maybe she was
just one of The People — i.e., a Person.“The concept of a person,
which we find so familiar in its application to human beings, cannot be
clearly and sharply expressed by any word in the vocabulary of Plato
and Aristotle; it was wrought with the hammer and anvil* of theological disputes about the Trinity and the Person of Christ.”– Peter Geach, The Virtues, Cambridge U. Press, 1977, p. 75
