Koan


Can someone please elucidate to me what this oft-used phrase, 'the faith once delivered to the saints,' means? I say this totally tongue-in-cheek. Compa spent days on the Alteplano of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela ruminating on this phrase. (This shot is what 30kms looked like: poplar trees every ten metres, straight, straight path right next to the road, no shade — absolute trudgery.)

Obviously it's a favourite phrase of the folks who are leaving TEC and they fling it at those of who remain, the apostate, because we haven't received whatever this exclusive faith is.

Here a little French is appropriate: Bigre.
