The No Outsiders assembly this week is about scapegoating people and assuming everything will be ok if someone is got rid of. It uses the story of seven women convicted as witches in 1652. Can we learn anything from history? #NoOutsiders #Belonging no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/10/scap...
