...Promised Land survived: "You will have no other desire than that of earning money, which will be the only lawful and pleasing thing in the eyes of God." And it is true that other passions, such as those which lead us to the sins of the flesh, remains condemned by human law.

With the fortunes of his followers he purchased an estate in Somerset, named it Agapemone (Abode of Love), and moved in with about 60 "brothers" and "sisters." The Abode featured a church with stained-glass windows, but which differed...
