Amidst the clash of rugby balls at Blackheath vs. Rosslyn Park, the modern-day heathenry of sportsmanship and camaraderie unfolds. Yet, a glimpse into the past reveals a stark contrast - the heathen practices of old, as depicted in engravings of Maipuri Indians roasting their enemies (1781) or witches being burned at the stake. The Missionary Society Seal serves as a reminder of the efforts to spread the word of the new faith, while figures like Elijah and the Priests of Baal (1863) or St. Boniface/Bishop (Fran Javier/Chasseriau) represent the struggle between old and new beliefs. The line between the sacred and the profane, the civilized and the savage, continues to blur and shift, reflecting the enduring complexity of human nature.
