David Falkayn's "significant adventure" on Ivanhoe was:
in a previous volume;
before he worked for Nicholas van Rijn's Solar Spice & Liquors;
while he was still apprenticed to Martin Schuster.
The previous "glimpse into a major human faith" was:
earlier in the Earth Book;
did not feature any continuing characters;
was set on the planet Avalon (not yet named);
involved a conflict of practice between Christianity and the Ythrian New Faith;
and involved a Christian character from the planet, Aeneas, which appears later in the Technic History.

Kaor, Paul!
And I still wonder which church Peter Berg belonged to, because that body took such a drastically different stand about non-humans becoming Christians than did the Roman/Jerusalem Catholic Church. I could make guesses but no evidence was ever given in "The Problem of Pain" sufficient for specific guesses. Deliberately so on Anderson's part.
Merry Christmas! Sean
Except that there are "Bible and blaster" Christians on Aeneas.
Kaor, Paul!
Which I've completely forgotten despite multiple readings of THE DAY OF THEIR RETURN, which is where I assume those "Bible and blaster" Christians were mentioned. But DAY was set about seven centuries later, so these "B and b" Christians might not have existed in Berg's time.
I also recall how "The Game of Glory" mentions that the population of Nyanza were largely "Christian variant" in their faith. Which is the closest the Technic stories comes to mentioning Protestant Christians.
I infer/speculate Peter Berg and his wife belonged to a church which had a formalized clergy called "priests," which made me think of the Lutherans or Methodists.
Merry Christmas! Sean
DAY, Chapter 13, apparently.
