Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Moved text

I have deleted the comments about Peter Ball, Michael's brother, and moved them to a more appropriate page -- the Wikipedia page on Peter John Ball.Celia Kozlowski (talk) 21:38, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CGA Franciscan?

In 1960 Ball founded a Franciscan monastic community at Stratford Park

Where did the "Franciscan" bit come from? Flapdragon 22:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot find. Have removed reference. Have got a member of staff at the museum in the park trying to find more info/references. He was certainly living in Stratford Park, while he was teaching at Marling. Tinminer 12:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good stuff. Just that being Francisan would presumably make it a Catholic order. Flapdragon 12:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are communities that follow the Franciscan rule outside of the Roman Catholic Church. If my memory serves the CGA rule mirrored the basic Franciscan tripod of poverty, chastity and obedience. , 10 September 2007 (UTC)10-09-2007 Xschemer 08:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed text

I have taken this out:

"Twin brothers Michael and Peter "claimed instances of telepathy and founded their own religious community at Stroud in 1960" ^[1]

for several reasons: 1. I don't think a photo-sales page caption is a reliable source. 2. The part about founding their own religious community repeats what is already on the page and 3. The part about claiming instances of telepathy doesn't provide enough context for the reader to understand what was meant and thereby to know more about the subject.
