gods and goddesses;
Latin.
One consequence for readers of Poul Anderson's works can be that they appreciate such themes more readily on encountering them elsewhere. Today, I attended a session of chanting and singing in which the Goddess was addressed by the Hindu name, Durga, then God was asked to give peace in the Latin words, "Da pacem, Domine," a chant from Taize (see image).
So live and learn and think of Poul Anderson.

Kaor, Paul!
I've heard of the Taize community or monastery. A kind of mostly Protestant monastic organization with a distinct resemblance, in some ways, I think, to the Benedictines. With a special emphasis on proclaiming the Gospel to younger people. I wish them well despite having some doubts on how EFFECTIVE the Taize community will be, long term.
