I love when The Economist's humor slips through, as it does in these lines from a report about the Southern Baptist Convention in San Antonio earlier this month.
Ha!
One of the biggest issues at this year's convention was whether Baptists should be allowed to have a "private prayer language". The phrase is typically used to mean something different from speaking in tongues. That is done in public, and tongues can in theory be translated for a general audience. (In practice, tongues-to-English translators are hard to find.)
