Hi all,
Who is Thessalonius? I've searched encyclopedias, and I can't find
the name. Is it in the DU, and I've just forgotten?
Thanks,

Hi son of Acimgirl. Say hi to mother of acim son for me. My
understanding (which is not extrememly elevated in this particular
instance) is that Thessalonius is another name for Thaddaeus (aka
Arten.) So I answered with that understanding, which someone seemed
to indicate to me in an e-mail was correct.
As you may recall, I'm supposed to know Arten in this lifetime
as well, so Linda was asking if I've figured out who that is yet. The
answer so far is, dah... But I'm sure this will unfold as it should.
Actually, as far as I know there isn't a heck of a lot written
about Thaddaeus in the Bible either. I think one of the Gospels lists
the twelve disciples and mentions him last. He's also known as Saint
Judas of James and is now prayed to (only for the last few hundred
years) as St. Jude, the Patron Saint of impossible or desperate
causes. (Like me living in Hawaii.) I don't know if there's much more
than that. Arten says he was quiet and a good learner. He also says a
little more about him in "Disappearance," but I don't know if much
else is known historically about this mysterious, happy learner. Love
and peace, Gary.
