I can say for absolutely sure that Chuck Anderson selected the term
Conclave for the AHCA annual gatherings from his experience in the Boy Scouts
because he told me so, with a group of equally old-guard folks (e.g. Walt
Blanck)
in attendence, all of whom nodded in agreement. (And I doubt seriously if
Chuck would even have known what a papal gathering of bishops would have been
called, anyhow.)
And that's the truth.
