  1. Very interesting.
    You mentioned several men ordained as Anglican "priests". When is it correct to call a man a "priest"? Where I come from only the Catholic ordained are called "priests" while the ordained protestants are known as "ministers", "pastors" or similar.

  2. I find the constant schism of radical groups fascinating. I live in a small Highland village where until recently, we had three different iterations of the Free Presbyterian Church on the go in the same civil parish. I think by the end of it, one of those congregations was just two blokes in a croft house. My paternal ancestors in rural Lincolnshire were Primitive Methodists, my great grandfather being the first to leave the Wolds and subsequently, the church.
