The Words of Prophesy also tend to come from a regular group, of perhaps 20 or so, and the Healing gift seems to be in another group. As to the religious background on the users at the ssc-vax, I know of three Christians; David, myself, and an Episcopal Preist (who probably gets some good chuckles out of all this). I'm sure there are other religions represented.
