Someone in Delphi will know if he was in Delphi re the Calvary Chapel and fellowshipping. This should be easy for LE to find out very quickly.Not proof TB was familiar with Delphi through its location of another Calvary Chapel established the same year, but an indication of the possibility.

Calvary Chapels are independent and self-governing churches. They do not have church membership apart from pastors recognized through their affiliate program. The Calvary Chapel Association has the responsibility of affiliating churches with Calvary Chapel. A church that affiliates with Calvary Chapel often (but not always) uses the name "Calvary Chapel". Three requirements for becoming affiliated exist:
Calvary Chapel - Wikipedia
- the pastor must "embrace the characteristics of the Calvary Chapel movement as described in Calvary Chapel Distinctives"
- the church must have the characteristics of a church (as opposed to a less-developed home fellowship)
- an applicant must express willingness to spend the time to fellowship with other Calvary Chapels[54]
