   You appear wearing strange clothes, speaking a strange language, with a   
   strange "living" device on your wrist... and you'd expect a warm welcome in   
   ANY land practising Mere Christianity?   
      
   What if a war is under way between two or more COMPETING versions of M.C.?   
      
   What if you're a minority denomination, a homosexual, a Jew, a black, a   
   Muslim, a woman, etc?
