520 |a Religious conversion is not the rote copying of information from a communicator to a recipient. Rather, it is a complex and multifaceted process located within neophytes and abstracted from and dissipated through their social networks.

The conversions were acts of creation where no two neophytes seemed to espouse exactly the same version of Christianity.
