Shouldn't it be President Barkley, not Alben? Just wondering....
Wonderful concept. I can't wait for your post on the Nestorian monks who travelled to the court of Genghiz Khan, converting him and all his wives and thanes to Christianity. The Khan was so moved by Christ's Sermon on the Mount, he decreed that no Mongol shall ever wage war on another child of God. After which, Mongolia became a major center of monasticism and mysticism.
