Once aboard, Darwin proved immensely industrious. He climbed volcanoes and was shaken by earthquakes. He brooded upon such things as the social organization of army ants. He learned that the Fuegians ate their women in a hard winter (instead of their dogs, which could catch otter). Like a great artist, he was half child, half sage.

Defections have periodically shaken the ranks of his American Council of Christian Churches (A.C.C.C.) and more recently his International Council of Christian Churches (I.C.C.C.), organizations that Mclntire formed in 1941 and 1948, respectively, to oppose the National and World Councils of Churches...
