[edit] A gaijin enquires

Shinto shrines do not have "a place for propagation"? You mean a bed? Something has gone wrong in this translation!Writtenright 22:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC)Writtenright

"Propagation" means "spreading the faith." See meaning b at Merriam-Webster. For an example of usage, see the article Society for the Propagation of the Faith. It may not be the exact word, but it's a lot more plausible than a bed. Fg2 02:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
