Methodist Theologian Van Harvey suggests that the church should not be "a place where men come to be more pious. The church is a place of edification, where one comes to learn to be an honest-to-God person living in dialogue with others." Despite all the yearning for spirituality that may exist in the average American church, it is questionable how many churchgoers can and do live up to this ideal. The stratified irrelevance of the established parish, whether Catholic or Protestant, is a major reason for the growth of what Episcopal Chaplain Malcolm Boyd has dubbed "the underground...
Haughty, dandified Eberlin (Laurence Harvey) is outwardly a London snob and secretly a top British agent. He is also a Russian assassin named Krasnevin who for 18 years has been knocking off other British agents as he knocks down a smashing double salary.

...rowing on the Thames," Swayze recalled. "Harvey had some problems coaching us, though; he had to ride a bicycle along the crowded towpath on the riverside. The team's only problem was the Thames' queen swans and British officials who usually put us on edge with their picayunish observances of lining-up procedures...
