More of the people living on the Peak are sent into Stanley.

 

The Protestant denominations in Camp agree it would be 'ridiculous' to hold separate church services:

On the very first Sunday there was a United Communion or Eucharist at 9.00 a.m. with worship services at 11.30 a.m. and 3.30 p.m.

Peak: Phyllis Harrop, Hong Kong Incident, 1944, 125

Services: Bill Ream, Too Hot For Comfort, 1988, 52

Note:

There are about 400 Catholics in Stanley and they hold their own services. So do the Christian Scientists.
