Another‘s Mantle - chapter 8

Ray refuses to return from Canada and so Frank is left to cough up some healing gifts and grow some church. He decides to prey upon the local Maori people who are initially suspicious, but inevitably overcome by Frank's sale of the gospel and every single indigenous person signs up to the AoG. Frank and Ray exchange letters declaring their love for each other and church growth, seeming to forget that they used to ride kids' mechanical toys at the shopping centre not long ago. The Holy Spirit tells Hazel a thing even Frank hadn't known. Hazel refers to this as a spiritual gift and not shared psychosis, or 'folie a deux', which often takes place when a member of a couple in isolation has psychotic symptoms. By the end of the chapter, Hazel can't even be bothered letting us know if the 5th kid has any gender or name. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
