		<description>Dear ESBVM,

So glad to have found you on the net! I am interested in  the pamphlet &quot;The Reformed and Mary&quot;.  Many years ago I bought a book - Mary&#039;s Place in Christian Dialogue (a symposium I think) - but do not have it now. It contained an amusing story of John Knox as a galley slave along with his companions in the boat - being asked on arrival  in Nantes - to kiss the statue of Our Lady as it was passed round!  He took a different approach and said &quot;Well Mary - let&#039;s see if you can swim&quot; and with that threw the statue in the River!  I told this when asked by a Church of Scotland Minister many years ago to preach on Mary at a Sunday Evening Advent Service in his church in Livingston.  It was well received.  Wonder if it rings any bells??  How might I purchase the pamphlet?  Many thanks!
