Yippee! My paper on the 1913 Kikuyu Incident has been accepted for a conference ... in Cambridge, no less.

Perhaps you should consider updating the Wiki article on the Kikuyu incident, which is currently limited to one paragraph.

It was an incident ... in Kikuyu ...
No, really, it caused the most terrible fuss at the time (1913) there was a conference of missionary societies working in Kenya Colony at which they agreed to federate their "native churches" and then the two evangelical Anglican bishops present conducted a service of Holy Communion at which they allowed all present to receive the Sacrament, denominational rules not withstanding. Frank Weston, bishop of Zanzibar, a very Anglo-Catholic bishop denounced them as heretical schismatics and demanded that that they be tried in the Archbishop of Canterbury's Archiepiscopal Court (a very big deal). Fortunately for all concerned the events in June 1914 overtook the whole mess and it got quietly buried in the archives at Lambeth Palace ... until I went snooping through the documentation ...

More like the Unilluminati ... did they think they could buy me off with mere money?
P'tah!

Good Lord: I haven't posted here for nine months ... ever since the thesis writing purdah began in earnest in fact! Never going to make another thousand at this rate!
