    Never heard of it. (Here's the wiki.)

    Someone might have heard of it in the Christianity forum, but rather than move this thread maybe you should 'reword' it and ask there.

    We used to do things like that in secondary school. Off for a couple of nights and talk about our feelings. Every morning we were woken up by the "Caravan of Love". There were prayers but you could leave, under the watchful eyes of Jesus and Mary. They were great fun!

    Coincidentally, nine months later there were always a few new teen moms...

    from the Wiki:
    "Chronos emphasizes duration, succession of moments, chronological time"

    As opposed to Cronus, a figure from greek legend fabled for eating his own children and trying to stop the Gods of Olympus from taking control of the world.

    One could call Cronus the original atheist.
