Catholicism? How so? Would think there would be more than just an ounce of
animosity there.

What connection is relevant between the Le Sparks and the Cape Town
Calvinists? It strikes me that colonial life has an intense affect on a
community's spiritual life. Not surprisingly. But the extremity is made
manifest by either intensifying the experience (as in the "experiments,"
safe havens, etc.) or attenuating devotion as in Cape Town (founded for
monetary gain). Hmmm. Too binary an idea, but what the hey.

Wicks? In my mind's eye an Anglican. Was that the question?

As always, Terrance, a pleasure. Likewise, Rob.
