My conclusion is that the place is real, and has some kind of interesting
history relating to the church and women, but unsure if the Mirror article

that the figures were never released – all I could find was some Wikimania
2013 slides John Vandenberg posted on Facebook, which did not include
gender stats, and to my knowledge there was neither a report nor a dump

Thanks for the response Andreas. I've updated with the 8.5% source.
I'm not selling Hill as a panacea either; there are actually lots of
