Donna you find these talks of interest.

They both address aspects of the topic of this thread and are related to the ongoing discussion (especially Burlingame's to my recollection).

Both speakers were in Springfield and involved in an ongoing discussion related to their talks in the panel session. I was in attendance. I would say there was some disagreement about various aspects of the talks (especially about Mary’s role and view on African Americans) but it was interesting to listen to how different people can interpret the same facts differently based on their own ideas and the influence of other sources that one or the other may not have been familiar with (or again just interpreted differently).
