Without commenting on orca!chrism's expose of "speaking in tongues," did anyone else catch the irony in his name? "Chrism" is a mixture of oil and balsam which is blessed by a bishop and used in sacramental rites of the Roman and Eastern Catholic Churches, such as Baptism and Confirmation. Anointment with chrism is an external sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit, the supposed agent of glossolalia. -- /Steve Dyer decvax!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca
