We are learning what it means to be S.A.S.S.Y.
The Society of All Souls Steampunk of Yesteryear, S.A.S.S.Y., was not an idea suggested as much as an identity found. In preparing for our Steampunk events of the 20th Anniversary of Dickens' Fest, S.A.S.S.Y. emerged as a shorthand for our congregational planners, but it soon became something else. By the third day of the festival, everyone in the congregation was invited to become S.A.S.S.Y. by dressing in costume and coming to worship - and many did.
