Anyway, both of these books show clearly that religious men and institutions are all imperfect. Yet he is presenting what he believes he has discovered as facts, with extensive footnotes.
While his primary focus is CBC in this latest book, he details what he considers parallels with the history of three or four other religious groups. Spotlights how men react to protect their territory, sometimes in very human ways.
It will be interesting to see the response of those whom were at CBC, and JSM during the time of which he writes.

I am not familiar with "JSM". Was this a secret Bible College only known to those approved?

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
