Locus reports (somewhat belated) the death of editor and anthologist Roger Elwood, who passed away on February 2nd. I mention this here because among the 80 or so anthologies that Elwood edited in the '60s and '70s is a quartet of anthologies of SF stories about religion: Flame Tree Planet, Chronicles of a Comer, Signs and Wonders, and Strange Gods.
