Circumlocution[edit]

"In those days, life on the frontier saw exercise of religious beliefs in a limited way, which became a concern to many." This circumlocution is so cautious I can't tell what the limitations of vision were and what the concern of the "many" was.--Wetman (talk) 17:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Missionary"[edit]

A missionary converts the heathen. Was Rev. Evan Evans a "missionary"? --Wetman (talk) 17:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that's what the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts called him, possibly to justify their sending him to the colonies; they were concerned about the faithful (among others), and possibly their straying from the established path.

Township boundaries[edit]

"By a quirk of geography, the church grounds lie at the intersection of three townships and two counties." I think that this wasn't a quirk nor an accident, when the boundaries came to be surveyed. --Wetman (talk) 17:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a quirk is a peculiarity, the running of the boundaries across the graveyard and between buildings seems to qualify, but if anybody has a better suggestion... Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:10, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moved back to a Radnor in the title[edit]

I think everybody can accept this. I think it's important because historically, in literature, and by common usage it's in Radnor or "St. David's at Radnor." Wayne is just a Post Office and an unincorporated area in Radnor Township. I've included the Radnor Township map so that everybody can see what's causing the confusion (Section A4).
