Submitted by brian edgar on

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.
