_______________
1 Henry James Prince (1811-99), excommunicated from the Church of England for ‘radical teachings’, founded a pseudo-religious order, the Agapemone (Abode of Love), in Spaxton, Somerset, in 1845. His most fervent disciples were women with money. The Agapemone was one of several 19th century communions run along the lines of the cults later established by Sun Myung Moon or L. Ron Hubbard. The circumstances of Moran’s encounter or encounters with Prince are not known at this time. See: The Reverend Prince and His Abode of Love (Charles Mander, EP Publishing, 1976).
2 A more balanced account of these incidents can be found Riders of the Purple Sage (Zane Grey, Harper & Brothers, 1912).
