There is an anarchistic thread in the tapestry of Christianity,
clashing nicely with Paul's Lindsay-like
kowtowing to any authority imaginable...
Therefore Jephthah wouldn't exactly count Gatlin's converts
as a total loss

And Gatlin ought to be aware of the revolutionary potential in
Christianity, so those who get off the wagon are just
taking a different road to the same place

the direction of coinage flowing is 
reminiscent too of long tradition of mainline church 
support of liberal causes and legal defense for 
proponents of radical causes, aye, the revolutionaries'd 
miss the Church if she went under...as would many!
