RKS Literature: The Twitching and Frothing Evangelists (Andrea Levy)

“The Ryders were evangelists and Mr Phillip had no time for evangelists.  He did not like the way that people moved by the spirit of the Lord threw themselves to the ground shaking and frothing at the mouth like beasts. He could not understand that, as the service came to a close, those same people could be seen politely shaking the preacher’s hand as they left the church. He said, “The spirit of the Lord cannot come and go in people so quickly.”

Andrea Levy, “Small Island”, 2004.
