Dorothy,
Lucid and to the point as always. That is exactly what I mean when I use the
term, and what I understand when I see others use it. I would only add, to
address Regina's other query, that the present four churches in Manhattan are
collectively known as the Collegiate Church. They have a nice Web site that
provides some interesting background. I'm out of town, so don't have the URL
at hand, but it should be fairly easy to find.
