       The Liberal Catholic Church : an analysis of a hybrid sect /
       Warren Christopher Platt. 1982
       Made by photocopying from the microfilming of a Columbia Univ.
       Doctoral Dissertation.
       Okay, so this is even more interesting than I had expected.
       Platt is an Episcopalian Priest.  In 1982 he was completing a
       doctorate in Religion, at Columbia University.  He decided to
       study this LCC.  He did a very good job.  Shows his
       questionnaires
       LCC does not ordain women!  Hard to imagine that, especially
       with the huge role which Annie Bessant played in getting it
       going.
       They ask in questionnaire if members had involvement in
       Christian Science,
       Divine Science,
       Religious Science,
       Unity School of Christianity,
       Swedenborgian Church
       The first four we have locally, and they and their people go
       right up my spine.  Cannot stand them.  Taken in more recent
       times to just telling them off if they try to speak to me.
       Of the fifth, there is one in San Francisco.  Did not know that
       it was really a church.  Want to learn more about it.
       And Swedenborg did keep mistresses.
       Now, of the book, at this time I want to record some of its
       references.  But not sure how easy it would be to obtain many of
       these, except maybe for going to Ojai CA.
