Peoples Temple recorded almost everything, which is why more is known about the texture of its worship than about most twentieth-century congregations. The music was genuinely good — the Temple choir released an album — and the services drew people who had no interest in the politics. In San Francisco the meeting could run five hours; in Guyana it ran over a loudspeaker network that covered the whole settlement, and there was nowhere in Jonestown out of range of it. That shift, from a service you attend to a voice you cannot switch off, is the clearest single measure of what changed between 1965 and 1978.
