Hermes has St. Carl's Church in Starfall.
Dennitza has St. Clement's Cathedral in Zorkagrad. The Orthochristians canonize Kossara Vymezal. Kossara's zmayi servant, Trohdwyr, had been a pagan ychan, invoking Aferdhi, Blyn and Haawan.
On Avalon, Tabitha Falkayn, who is Hrill of Highsky Choth, tells Christopher Holm, who is Arinnian of Stomgate Choth, that most members of her choth keep to the Old Faith. There is no mention of churches on Avalon although one of the Oronesian islands is called St. Li.

Kaor, Paul!
We might not see any mention of churches in THE PEOPLE OF THE WIND, but we do see this in Chapter VI: "...a secretary, a drunk about to collapse, another drunk getting belligerent at a monitor, a man gaunt and hairy and ragged who stood on a corner and shouted of some obscure salvation,..." That gaunt and ragged man was obviously a street preacher of a kind we have both seen or read about.
And that "monitor" was plainly an Avalonian policeman!
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
I have wondered what that "obscure salvation" was.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
And I as well. But it shows that religious belief did exist on Avalon among humans.
Ad astra! Sean
