But, as a final comment on the faith I was raised in:
Do you know why Methodists disapprove of sex before marriage They fear it might lead to dancing!!!

We Baptists usually cite the same fear in justification of our opposition to having sex standing up. I think our fear makes more sense. But then, I'm a Baptist...

I would have to say I think Charles Wesley's music was far more influential (at least in the long run) than John's preaching; whether the same will be true of Shea vs. Graham is doubtful. BTW is George still alive; he was last I checked, but he must be pushing 100. Billy is not only still alive, but still Crusading last I heard. (Though his son Franklin is CEO of the empire now.)
