Combining lively worship, warm fellowship and soul-winning zeal, the group posted an astounding 23.6% increase in church attendance between 1979 and 1985, a period when those crustier Protestants were struggling to stem decline.

Erpingham (John Claflin) is the name of the director of a chain of British holiday camps, an upper crust, uptight version of Club Med. He is the Great Oppressor/Dictator/Imperialist, demanding religiously fanatic devotion and obeisance from his workers and campers while envisioning a world-spanding empire of holiday camps.
