So there he met the nurse, Marceline Baldwin, who was a minister's daughter. I think they were both very inexperienced in the ways of love and romance, and they got married very quickly. Marceline was very altruistic, and Jim Jones was very altruistic. And so He was going to school and also deciding that a minister was what he needed to be.

And she, as a minister's daughter, was completely supportive of that. And they started their first churches in the 1950s in Indiana. And there was more than one, which is why I say churches, and they changed names as well. There was Community Unity Church. and there was Wings of Deliverance, and eventually there was People's Temple.

Yes, exactly. They start adopting across racial lines, which also was not done in the 50s. So they were the first... white family to adopt an African-American child. And he was given the name Jim Jones Jr., which is interesting. They had one natural child, Stephen, and there were five or six adopted ones.

So they were doing all these good works in Indiana, and she's still working as a full-time nurse. She was integral to the functioning of this church, both financial and otherwise. He was kind of the bad father that people looked up to for approval, and she was more the accepting mother. And eventually they went by those terms, father and mother.

Yes, exactly. And of course, it's not unusual for a religious man to be called father, as is done in the Catholic Church and other churches as well. But she also becomes Mother Marceline. And in some ways, in my research, I felt like she has developed this kind of saintly image, which is in a certain way just as dehumanizing as Jim Jones's monster image.
