Village of the Innocent
Thomas Howard Bramel
About this work:
In Heaven, just as on earth, there are communities of souls who do a variety of good works. The angels that live in the Village of the Innocent receive a visitor from a lower world. The visitor tries to persuade the angels that their innocence is nothing more than ignorance of the world. The angels explain that all wisdom is from God and to believe otherwise is ignorance of Heaven. Upon hearing this the visitor sinks back down and the villagers are given new joy.
