V. Nuland, Deputy Sec of State of the USA went to strong arm Niger. I think she was surprised at the "welcome" in that country. More evidence of wanning American influence? Governing bodies in Religion are a lot like governments of countries. It is interesting how the more authoritative a governing body is, the fewer formal sects there are in that religion. So, with less rigid control, there are more varieties than can be counted. Is this a problem? Not if we are free.
