[-empyre-] transgressions

[Christina McPhee <christina112@earthlink.net>]

Kate:


i remember you really wanted to use the term 'transgressions' for the 
month in connection with 'border crossings'  so this is intriguing to 
me.

Why is the idea of 'transgression' important ?

How do you define it in terms of matrix theory?

Being brought up in the Church, i was taught that a transgression was a 
sin.  I thought I'd have a look at the English dictionary and went to 
the url:
