Irm glad I read it, Itts not, science ficticn in fact, fud has sent a new Hessiah, calling hirnself Godbody. lle draws bo himself a group from a smalL town, a minister anci his w5.fe, a rapist and one cf his victims, .'r banker, a woman artisL, and fina1l.y a policernano Onl-y days later he is shot by a locaI polrer broker. Sturgeons premise is that sex j.s or ought to be sacred and sacramental and totalJ.y free as Godbody teaehee. Ilm not sure about this and vri}l have to do r.lore ihinking about it, Sex is dangerous if not handled carefully" Anyway in the end the minister lists some of the early church practices abandoned over the cenburles such as: - No house of worship, services often held in the open air, - No offici.atlng pri.est. - No distinctions of sex, trace, poverty etc. - the tkiss of peace I , on gatlrerin6 each person embraced every other. * the Agepe, a feast, a real rueal n Theolgpsy. i$eizure by God! something akin to speaking-in tongues. or holy rolling.
